Intervention and Process of Care Trajectory
While the above is a simplified version of the behavioral healthcare system , it serves to illustrate the various touchpoints where an individual can be identified as having a behavioral health or substance misuse issue , or where they may receive care . The framework presented suggests support for the core themes and strategic objectives noted earlier in the Stage 2 report and provides a trajectory for the Stage 3 activities .
Throughout the research , some of the barriers to receiving care that participants frequently mentioned include the complicated intake process and the amount of paperwork ( and the challenges of some of that paperwork for certain segments of the population , including those experiencing homelessness ). This is therefore an opportunity for improvement . By mapping the multiple sectors , intervention sites or contact points , and care sites , Polk Vision can start to , for example , develop strategies to positively impact root causes of system of care gaps and behavioral health care needs . This will be further covered in the Stage 3 activities , subsequent report and ongoing project activities .
The following section provides additional guidance for Stage 3 activities .
