Problem Statement•A variety of acute and longstanding
challenges lead to PES overcrowding•We must intelligently identify and
implement effective and practical solutions to these challenges in order to ensure high-quality crisis mental health services in LA county
PES Challenges and Potential Solutions• Divided responsibilities: Integration of procedures for
relevant agencies• Legal issues regarding involuntary treatment: Re-
evaluation of procedures for detention, detainee transport, LPS conservatorship
• PES over-use: Alternative crisis services: UCCs• Inpatient over-use: Changes in PES and inpatient
internal processes, develop alternative residential approaches
• Concerns about insufficient capacity: Develop consensus on PES and inpatient missions
• Funding restrictions: MHSA changes

Addressing overcrowding in the PES

Program development / process improvements• Further invest in intensive case management programs
for individuals that frequently utilize the PES• Streamline access into substance abuse rehabilitation
programs• Improve coordination with DCFS• Increase DMH liaison activities • Engage with LPS-designated individuals regarding
appropriate use of 5150 holds and range of potential destinations to which patients on holds may be transferred
• Educate psych inpatient and PES staff to more rapidly discharge patients to open community-based facilities
• Develop Post-hospitalization Placement Problem Comm.
14
Program dev. / process improvements – con’t• Address operational issues that delay timely patient
throughput▫ Supplement social service staff▫ Streamline ambulance crew drop-offs▫ Streamline Hawkins discharge procedures▫ Pilot adolescent transfer protocols▫ Promote linkage with DMH FSPs
• Reduce, where appropriate, interfacility variation in clinical practice patterns
15
PES Outcomes Study – DMH/DHS Collaborative Effort• Study Aims:
▫ Describe the demographic, social, and clinical factors of PES pts
▫ Identify predictors associated with discharged vs. admitted PES pts
▫ Compare longitudinal outcomes of discharged vs. admitted PES pts
• Study Design:▫ Retrospective cohort of adult LA County residents seen in
one of three LAC locked PESs from 2008 through 2010▫ Longitudinal utilization and clinical outcomes traced from
2008 through 2011

DHS – Affinity • Baseline demographic, insurance, hold status, psychiatric/medical diagnoses, etc.
• Subsequent medical ED visits and medical hospitalizations at DHS hospitals
Sheriff – Automated Jail Information System (AJIS)
• Booking information, arrest offense code, release date, housing location, etc.
DMH – IS • Outpatient mental health care visits, PES revisits, inpatient psychiatric admissions, PMRT contacts, forensic mental health episodes
Coroner’s Database
• All adult decedants, including mode of death, location of death, diagnoses at death
Data infrastructure• Continue efforts to establish a Unique Patient
Identifier within DHS and a County Master Patient Index
• Monitor progress on placing “difficult to place” patients through systematic data collection efforts
• Continue to monitor trends in PES utilization by AB109 releasees and, in collaboration with CDRC, develop strategies to divert inappropriate visits as needed
18
Expand non-PES hospital capacity• Implement DHS Supportive Housing program• Investigate 23-hour holding unit for DCFS children within the
Children’s Village at LAC+USC• Maximize use of Olive View Urgent Community Services
Program by obtaining LPS designation; investigate 24/7 feasibility
• Investigate alternate UCC sites (e.g., MLK)• Pursue development of a joint DHS/DMH SNF contract• Open vacant 5-bed unit at Augustus Hawkins• Expand Psychiatric Diversion Program • Invest in community-based residential facilities such as
crisis residential beds and acute diversion units• Build capacity/capabilities at Juvenile Halls/Camps (e.g.,
acute stabilization unit, step-down intensive day-treatment unit)
