Several factors contributed to implementation problems, including the pace and scope of implementation, insufficient forecasting and monitoring, and lack of information about system performance. The Department of Health and Human Services should collaborate with other stakeholders to re-evaluate what information is needed about system performance, how it is collected, and how it is presented. Additionally, the evaluation recommends focusing analytic efforts within one specific office of the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services to ensure consistency, depth, and quality of analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/MHI_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/MHI_Exec_Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/MHI_Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/MHI_Handout.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Handouts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Agency Actions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>MHDDSAS provides a quarterly performance report to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Health and Human Services on local management entities\u2019 performance on 21 contracted measures.

The Division of Medical Assistance and MHDDSAS coordinate performance measurement and oversight as part of implementing the 1915b\/c Medicaid Waiver project. A planned provider quality report has been replaced with the \u201cGold Star\u201d provider monitoring and incentive program used by the pilot waiver site (Piedmont Behavioral Health), as required by legislation. Additional activities targeting internal quality improvement include implementation of a MHDDSAS Quality Management committee structure, required quality management expectations for local management entities, and Intra-Departmental Monitoring Teams to oversee each local management entity\u2019s progress and performance in carrying out their responsibilities.
