Below is a HillCo client report on the April 17 Behavioral Health Integration Advisory Committee Meeting.
The committee met initially in March to review recommendations submitted by committee members and stakeholders. Due to the volume of recommendations sent in, the committee decided to schedule this supplemental meeting to continue the review today. After the final recommendations have been approved by the committee, their final report will be produced. Recommendations continue to be reviewed by HHSC staff to determine which of them are already being implemented as well as which ones are more suited for other advisory committees. Please see attached for the full recommendation document as it stands now in their Phase I process of forming recommendations.
Pages 1-11 are recommendations that will be deleted due to HHSC determinations. Pages 11-53 are recommendations that the committee will keep for now and pages 53-55 are recommendations that are pending.
