The Data Collection Reporting (DCR) System is a client-level data system in which the Department of Health Care Services(DHCS) maintains County-submitted information about Full Service Partnership (FSP) clients. The DCR, together with DHCS’s Client & Service Information (CSI) System, is the data source for the MHSOAC Full Service Partnership Outcomes Dashboard. Data is provided monthly by County mental health programs (MHPs) and in these dashboards are summarized at the state level. The MHSOAC receives twice-annual updates of the DCR and CSI data from DHCS, which then are reflected in updates to the dashboard.

Mental Health Service Act legislation, a Child is a person between ages 0 and 15.

This is a program category within Community Services and Supports (CSS). The FSP program philosophy is to do “whatever it takes” to help individuals achieve their goals, including recovery, by providing a full spectrum of community services and supports, as determined collaboratively with the partner-client. The services provided may include, but are not limited to, mental health treatment, housing, medical care, vocational training, and crisis support.

The State adopted the term, “partner” to refer to the client participating in a Full Service Partnership (FSP) program. Unique to FSP programs are a low staff to client ratio, a 24/7 crisis availability and a team approach that is a partnership between mental health staff and consumers. Persons should only be in one partnership at a time, but can be in more than one partnership over a longer period of time (for example if a person moves to a new county we might see them also move to a different partnership in the new county).

Relationship between the client or partner and the Full Services Partnership program in which they are enrolled. Unique to FSP programs are a low staff to client ratio, a 24/7 crisis availability and a team approach that is a partnership between mental health staff and consumers.

The percent change in arrest rate was calculated to show how much arrest rates declined from Before FSP Participation to after FSP Participation by clients in partnerships’ age group, sex, race/ethnicity, and county. It was calculated by subtracting the After FSP arrest Rate from the Before FSP arrest rate and dividing that result by the Before FSP arrest rate: (Before FSP rate – After FSP rate/ Before FSP Rate).

Protected health information is individually identifiable information relating to the past, present, or future health status of individuals including, diagnoses, treatment information, medical test results, prescription information, medical identification numbers, and demographic information such as birth dates, gender, ethnicity, and contact and emergency contact information. Source: HIPAA Journal.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically.

State and federal law (i.e., HIPAA) require various entities to protect the private information of individuals receiving physical or mental health care. In presenting information about clients and client outcomes in the Transparency Suite, the MHSOAC has aggregated or suppressed display of information about small groups of individuals to minimize the likelihood that any individual can be reidentified from displayed information.  

Biological sex at birth (Female, Male, Other, Unknown) reported in the DHCS Client Services Information System. Categories are chosen based on a combination of DHCS reporting groups and categories that allow MHSOAC to minimize data suppression at the county level.

Per Mental Health Services Act legislation, Transition Aged Youth (TAY) are defined as any person between the ages of 16 and 25.
