Periodically, Statistics and Data Analysis (SDA) is involved in compiling and/or producing data for specialized reports that include county mental health statistical data as well as data from sources outside SDA. Frequently these are single reports which are not updated. However, the data may still be needed for reference in the report and may be helpful for historical research. This website will contain such reports and/or data used in such reports.

DATA FOR ANALYSIS OF QUALITY AND ADEQUACY OF SERVICES FOR EMILY Q. CLASS MEMBERS

Pursuant to Emily Q. v. Bonta (C.D.Cal., 2001, CV 98-4181 AHM (AIJx)), Order Re: Plan to Increase TBS Utilization and Joint Stipulation Thereof, filed July 29, 2004, the Department of Mental Health (DMH) has prepared these data to display the TBS utilization rate by county mental health plan (MHPs) along with rates of state hospital placements by county making the placement, readmissions for psychiatric inpatient hospital services by MHP of the beneficiary, and group home placements at Rate Classification Levels 12, 13 and 14 by county making the placement. DMH will be analyzing these data to select MHPs for focused reviews to examine quality of care and adequacy of services for Medi-Cal beneficiaries who are Emily Q. class members. In selecting MHPs for focused reviews, DMH may also consider data on the percentage of youth in juvenile halls who have mental health needs or prescribed psychotropic medications by the county of the facility and the rates of juvenile arrests by county in which the arrest was made, which are also included in the data below.
