Local Planning
and Network Development (LPND)
(If you are a potential provider interested in providing mental health services
in the Central Plains Center Service Area, please see "Information for Potential
Providers" Section at the bottom of this page)
Central Plains Center is in the process of developing a Local
Service Area Plan regarding the configuration and development of its
mental health provider network. The plan reflects local needs and priorities and
maximizes consumer choice and access to qualified service providers. The
goal of this Local Provider Network Development process is for MHMR Centers
around the State to incorporate strategies to ensure continuous
consumer access to services while the Centers increasingly expand their network
of providers. The desired outcome is for consumers to have choice among multiple
service providers and for the Center to provide
management and oversight of the provider network.
Central Plains Center has gathered and obtained
input from its stakeholders regarding issues such as:
. Service needs and priorities of children, adolescents, and adults;
. Crisis response system and services;
. Development of the external provider network; and
. Other significant issues and concerns.
A draft of the Local Service Area Plan, the strategy Central Plains Center has
developed to give consumers more provider choice (developed from consumer and
stakeholder feedback), was posted for comment for a period of time that ended on
October 15th, 2008.
A final version of this Plan, with revisions addressing feedback received from
the
draft, will be submitted to the Department of State Health Services on October
31st,
2008 for review.
