CRISIS RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
SCOPE OF WORK
ORGANIZATION: Central Star Behavioral Health, Inc.
MAILING ADDRESS: 1501 Hughes Way, Suite 150, Long Beach, CA 90810
SERVICE ADDRESS: 496 S. Barton, Fresno, CA 93702
SERVICES: Crisis Residential Treatment Services
CONTRACT PERIOD: December 1, 2017 through June 30, 2021, with an option for two (2)
twelve (12) month renewal terms
BACKGROUND
CONTRACTOR shall provide crisis residential treatment (CRT) services as defined in California
Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 9, §1810.208. Crisis Residential Treatment Services. “Crisis
Residential Treatment Service” means therapeutic or rehabilitative services provided in a non-
institutional residential setting which provides a structured program as an alternative to
hospitalization for beneficiaries experiencing an acute psychiatric episode or crisis who do not have
medical complications requiring nursing care. The therapeutic and rehabilitative services shall be
provided as defined in California Code of Regulations (CRR), Title 22, §1810.208, consistent with a
Social Rehabilitation Program, which will be provided in a non-institutional residential setting.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the CRT staffing, programming service operations, and
quality assurance. The CRT facility provides a residential setting that creates a safe base from
which clients can collaborate with staff, friends and family to assess their needs and assist in
framing their own recovery plan.
Culturally-attuned services will include crisis intervention and stabilization strategies, screening for
medical complications, diagnosis formulation, medication education, medication monitoring, clinical
assessment, individual treatment/rehabilitation plans, and discharge planning that actively links
clients with resources, such as permanent housing, pre-vocational and vocational programs,
substance abuse treatment services and other supports based on the clients’ individual strengths
and needs.
TARGET POPULATION:
The target population will include male and female individuals, who are 18 to 59 years of age, who
are experiencing acute psychiatric episodes or crisis. The CRT is projected to serve 194 unique
clients annually.
The focus shall be individuals in a pre-contemplative/contemplative stage of change that are seeking
structure to achieve recovery. Individuals presenting for psychiatric care typically have existing co-
occurring physical health concerns and/or trauma-related experiences, and occasionally have
undiagnosed physical disorders that are not the cause of their mental symptoms but nonetheless will
require evaluation and treatment. However, these clients must not have serious medical
complications that require nursing management. Medical clearance will be required for referred
clients where there are indicators of an acute medical condition as determined by a medical
screening, which must occur within 30 calendar days prior to clients’ admission to the CRT. In the
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 2 of 9
event a referred client is known to possess a contagious medical condition, said client shall be
medically cleared by a local hospital prior to admission to the CRT.
All clients shall have a primary diagnosis of mental health disorder. The psychiatric diagnosis must
reflect a severe, persistent mental illness or a maladaptive reaction to a mental health crisis. The
primary diagnosis cannot be dementia, mental retardation, or substance abuse/dependence.
Individuals will be referred to the CRT by the following, including but not limited to: the COUNTY’s
Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), DBH contract providers, Institutes of Mental Disease (IMDs),
Emergency Psychiatric Services (EPS), or emergency rooms (aka hospital emergency departments).
When the CRT program is nearing full capacity, clients who have accessed emergency services such
as EMS, or law enforcement, multiple times will be prioritized for the purpose of admission to the
CRT.
LOCATION OF SERVICES:
CONTRACTOR shall provide CRT services within the COUNTY-owned facility located at 496 S.
Barton, Fresno, CA 93702.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
I.The CRT shall be a positive level of care and a temporary alternative for adults experiencing
an acute psychiatric episode or intense emotional distress who might otherwise face voluntary
or involuntary commitment in a higher level of care.
II.Clients shall be engaged in recovery activities throughout each day. Most programming shall
be group-focused with individual sessions to help reinforce learning. The majority of services
shall be delivered at the certified CRT site and will be face-to-face encounters between clients
and staff. However, some services, not available at the CRT, may be provided by reputable
and known programs in the community via referrals and linkage from the CRT staff.
Group sessions and activities provided by CONTRACTOR shall:
A.Introduce daily structure and supportive motivation moving toward self-discipline and self-
management, which is helpful to persons used to living in a disorganized and chaotic way;
B.Provide norms that reinforce healthy ways of interacting and a safe and supportive
therapeutic milieu that is crucial for recovery, including fitness-oriented and
creative/expressive outlets;
C.Develop clients’ communication and socialization skills. This is helpful to all and particularly
useful for individuals whose socializing, historically, revolved around using substances;
D.Advance individual recovery and facilitate those further along in their recovery to support
other members through a positive peer wellness and recovery culture;
E.Provide a venue for group facilitators to transmit new information, teach new wellness and
life skills, and guide clients as they practice new behaviors.
III.The CRT staff shall conduct individual client evaluations to help determine the need for the
type and intensity of additional services to be provided within a framework of peer support and
trauma informed approaches to recovery.
IV.CONTRACTOR’s staff will be trained in the use of the following EBPs, when appropriate for
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 3 of 9
clients’ assessed individual needs and service plan.
A.W ellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) – a self-management tool that clients can
use to monitor uncomfortable, distressing feelings and behaviors and identify planned
responses that will reduce, modify, or eliminate them.
B.Motivational Interviewing – a widely used practice in recovery as it integrates well into
short-term crisis stabilization services, offers sound engagement strategies addressing
any/all conditions, and works in a respectful manner to help consumers take ownership
of their recovery.
C.Aggression Replacement Training – a research-based, multi-component cognitive-
behavioral treatment to promote pro-social behavior by addressing factors that contribute
to aggression.
D.Seeking Safety – an evidence-based counseling model to help people, including clients
with dual diagnoses, to attain safety from trauma and/or substance abuse.
V.CONTRACTOR shall prescribe prescription drugs when needed. The majority of CRT clients
will have already been prescribed prescription drugs that will need to be monitored by the
CONTRACTOR. At the time of admission, CONTRACTOR shall obtain a complete medication
history from clients, gather information about the appropriateness of medications for the
clients, taking into account the clients’ ages, weight, pathophysiology, allergies, vital signs, and
clients’ knowledge/beliefs about drugs. The CONTRACTOR shall update the medication
information periodically as well as conduct education with the clients to ascertain that the
medication is being taken correctly and continues to be advantageous.
CONTRACTOR shall maintain a list of all prescribed and non-prescribed medications for all
CRT clients. Medication support will be led by a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Support will
also be provided by licensed nursing personnel (Mental Health Registered Nurse and
LVN/LPT’s). All medication shall be stored in a locked central location with a control system
so that unauthorized individuals cannot access the medication. Refrigerated medications will
be stored in a locked refrigerator separate from food supplies. In addition when it is a part of
client’s individual treatment/rehabilitation plan, CONTRACTOR shall encourage clients to be
personally responsible for holding, managing, and safeguarding all of their medications.
VI.CONTRACTOR staff and client shall work together to develop a written treatment/rehabilitation
plan specifying goals and objectives as well as identifying the staff and client responsibilities
for their achievement. Clients shall be involved in an ongoing review of progress towards
reaching established goals and be involved in the planning and evaluation of their treatment
goals. The plan shall contain at least the following elements:
A.Statement of specific treatment needs and goals
B.Description of specific services to address identified treatment needs
C.Documentation of reviews by staff and client of the plan at least weekly
D.Anticipated length of stay needed to accomplish identified goals, and methods to
evaluate the achievement of these goals.
VII.If an individual treatment/rehabilitation plan requires services to be provided by another
program or agency, there shall be documented evidence in the clients’ case record of
communication between all persons responsible for the treatment/rehabilitation plan.
Following the referral of a client to an outside agency, the client’s primary assigned CRT staff
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 4 of 9
member will follow up with the client and the service provider to whom the client was referred
to ensure that services were accessed. It is the CRT team members’ role to assist the client
with mediating any barriers to accessing services (e.g. travel, scheduling, etc.) as well as any
perceived stigma in seeking assistance from the service providers e.g. substance abuse,
victimization, etc.
VIII.CONTRACTOR shall prepare a written discharge summary prepared by CRT staff and client,
which includes an outline of services provided, goals accomplished, reason and plan for
discharge, and referral follow-up plans. Discharge summaries will be the reports that provide a
link between the CRT and the clients’ next level of care and/or their primary medical care
services. They also serve an internal reference for future care at the CRT, if necessary.
IX.Clients shall be involved, depending on capability, in the operation of the CRT household.
This shall include participation in the formulation and monitoring of house rules, as well as in
the daily operation of the facility, including but not limited to cooking, cleaning, menu planning
and activity planning. Clients shall be active in all aspects of running the CRT household,
gaining skills in the activities of daily living, such as shopping, cooking, laundry and budgeting.
Purposeful group activities shall also be scheduled, such as joining in on grocery shopping
trips.
X.Structured day and evening services shall consist of, at a minimum, an average of fourteen
(14) specific rehabilitation service hours and seven (7) activity program hours per week for
each client, and shall be available seven (7) days a week. Services shall include, but not be
limited to:
•Individual and Group Counseling or Therapy
•Crisis Intervention

•Sexual Health Education
•Education on Self Administration of Medication
•Personal Grooming and Hygiene and Other Activities for Daily Living
•In general, an activity program that encourages socialization within the program and
general community, and that assists linking the clients to resources which are available
after leaving the program
V.CONTRACTOR shall provide at least three (3) balanced and complete meals each day. A kitchen
shall be made available for client use. CONTRACTOR shall encourage clients to participate in
meal preparation and menu planning depending on capability. Any reasonable special dietary
needs shall be provided for clients (e.g., vegetarian meals, vegan meals, etc.).
STAFFING:
CONTRACTOR employs a blend of licensed behavioral health practitioners, health professionals,
and para-professional staff with lived experiences reflective of the experiences of those with
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 5 of 9
behavioral health problems. CRT staff includes the Contractor Administrator; Program Director,
Clinical Supervisor; Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Psychologist/Psychiatrist; LVNs/LPT;
Mental Health Specialist, Recovery Counselors, Safety Specialist/Recovery Counselor, Household
Coaches/Cooks, Resource Specialist and EMR/Clerk. CONTRACTOR staff who provide
management and administrative services regionally for the CRT in Fresno County include: the
UR/QA/Medical Records, Human Resources, Training, Billing Clerk, and Maintenance Technician.
CONTRACTOR’S staff meets (or exceeds) all State licensing and regulatory requirements including
medical staff standards, nursing staff standards, and rehabilitation staff requirements. All staff
achieves LiveScan and DOJ clearance. Licensed and registered clinicians clear OIG/HHS eligibility
screening. Continuing supervision of medical services are provided by a Nurse Practitioner who
evaluates clients as needed and is available on-call for the provision of non-emergency physical
health care. The Clinical Supervisor provides clinical oversight for behavioral health staff, including
the Mental Health Specialist, Recovery Counselors, and Resource Specialist. All staff that require
state licensure and/or certification shall remain in good standing with their respective state licensing
or certification boards.
CRT staff shall be employed by the CONTRACTOR except for psychiatrists, primary care
physician(s) and a dietician who are independent contractors. CONTRACTOR shall contract with a
Psychiatrist for 5-8 hours/week to work collaboratively with a Nurse Practitioner. Subject to approval
by the County, some Psychiatry services may be provided via telemedicine.
CONTRACTOR’S Administrator will inform the COUNTY’s DBH within 24 hours of any staff
changes that may affect the CRT program.
HOURS OF OPERATION:
CONTRACTOR staff shall be available to provide services to clients twenty-four (24) hours per day,
seven (7) days per week.
ANTICIPATED AVERAGE CLIENT LENGTH OF STAY:
The anticipated average client length of stay in the CRT shall be in accordance with each client’s
assessed needs, but not to exceed thirty (30) days unless circumstances documented in the client’s
record require a longer length of stay beyond thirty (30) days. Under no circumstances may the
length of stay exceed 89 days.
GOALS/OUTCOMES:
CONTRACTOR shall utilize a computerized tracking system with which performance and outcome
measures and other relevant client data, such as demographics, will be maintained. The data
tracking system may be incorporated into CONTRACTOR’S electronic health records (EHR) system
or be a stand-alone database. DBH must be afforded read only access to the data tracking system.
CONTRACTOR uses standardized assessment /outcome tools, performance measures, and
satisfaction surveys for quality improvement and to evaluate progress towards the CRT program
goals.
CONTRACTOR staff shall use Electronic Health Records (EHR) and other tools to track and report
member data, utilization and treatment outcomes across multiple domains, aided by dedicated
Quality Assurance and Research and Program Practices (RPP) Department staff within
CONTRACTOR’S Total Quality Management System (TQM). CONTRACTOR shall maintain an
Electronic Medical Record (EMR), enabling them to keep and easily transmit data from a
comprehensive client record consistent with the requirements of CCL Title 22, section 6.
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 6 of 9
CONTRACTOR shall partner with the COUNTY to implement an evaluation protocol that addresses
the desired results of the program – stabilizing individuals during a difficult period and connecting
them into needed community-based services and supports, while reducing their future risk of crisis
and need for hospitalizations and other high-end services. CONTRACTOR shall assess their past,
current and future status in the overall system of care (i.e., use of crisis services, psychiatric
hospital, arrests/detainments, etc.) and their stability and prospects in the community (housing, use
of peer supports, mental health treatment enrollments, educational/vocational endeavors,
employment, etc.), taken at the time of enrollment and tracked through referral and linkages
provided at discharge.
CONTRACTOR shall work with the COUNTY in analyzing post-discharges statuses on similar
indicators, to the extent these data are available on clients in COUNTY databases. CONTRACTOR
shall adapt and apply similar metrics for the above indicator areas as appear on the Mental Health
Services Act (MHSA) form sets used in Full Service Partnership (FSP) programs (PAF, KETs, 3Ms)
and/or from Client Outcome Report (COR).
Assessments of statuses shall be complemented using standardized functional assessments such
as the Milestones of Recovery (MORS), the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) and/or the Behavior
and Symptom Identification Scale (BASIS), the latter two are completed by the client themselves
regarding the time before admission compared to the time preceding discharge. Other important
areas of measurement for program evaluation include fidelity protocols (e.g., development of a
WRAP by discharge, pre-post group services assessments, focus groups with clients, etc.);
client/family’s experience and satisfaction with services; and, gathering feedback from agency
partners. All data from outcome measurements shall be routinely reviewed and applied to the
continuous quality improvement of programs, with stakeholder input, in the context of
CONTRACTOR’s comprehensive Total Quality Management (TQM) program.
The following examples provide preliminary information about tracking methods:
a. Access to care: The ability of clients to receive the right service at the right time.
CONTRACTOR’S business analytics system uptakes data from the EHR on referral dates,
admission/intake dates, and service dates by service types. This allows for graphically presenting
and monitoring aggregate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on dashboards by agency/program
regarding the time between referral to admission/intake to first service; and to inspect the array of
services (mix/match and intensity/volume) provided. The BA application also allows drill down to
client/staff levels, beyond the aggregation, to examine outliers that may require review and case-
level problem-solving. These dashboards are the primary way program managers and QA
personnel actively monitor access in real time; they also pay attention to periodic, cross-sectional
feedback from consumer and agency partner surveys which include inquiries about service access
and staff’s responsiveness.
1) Timeliness of bridging prescriptions
All prescriptions are dated in the EHR, so the time between the end/beginning of prescriptions can
be calculated. If the client is being transferred from or to another facility, the nursing team compiles
a record of all discharge prescriptions for the client and the next-on provider so they have full
information to work with in carrying on with needed services. CONTRACTOR shall include inquiry
about Rx continuity during warm-hand offs and at a one month post discharge follow-up phone call.
2) Timeliness of identifying clients with a serious mental illness
Symptoms and risk, such as depression, poor judgment, affect regulation, trauma adjustment, and
suicide risk, as well as pertinent clinical diagnoses are established through comprehensive
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 7 of 9
assessments at intake, and are also tracked using standardized tools, e.g., the MORS, (clinician
rating), BASIS and/or RAS (client rating) over time in the program to discharge. Specific types of
assessments, such as for suicide risk (CSSRS), psychiatric traumas (ACES), and substance abuse
(SBIRT) are prompted based on screening responses of clients, administered at admission, and
may also be re-administered by staff at any point during treatment in which there is new/heightened
concern.
3) Timeliness between client referral for assessment and completion of assessment;
assessment to first treatment service; and, first treatment service to next follow-up.
Assessment and Individual Service Planning will both take place within 24 hours of admission.
Assessments findings will be entered and tracked in the EMR and will determine each person’s
current status, safety, and support needs, including: (1) a comprehensive bio-psycho-social
evaluation summarizing psychiatric history and treatment, developmental milestones, medical
history, relationships and mental health status; (2) screening for high risk behaviors using the
Columbia Suicide Severity and Risk Scale (CSSRS), and Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral
to Treatment (SBIRT) to assess for substance use, along with other assessments for other varied
health and safety risks and needs identification.
4) Timeliness of subsequent follow-up visits
For services provided while in the program, per comprehensive assessments and the plan of care,
service entries in the EHR permit tabulations of time frames between the assessment/plan of care
determination of need and service provision. For services to be provided once the client discharges,
as part of their aftercare plan, CONTRACTOR shall conduct linkages using warm hand-offs
(personal contact) with the next-on provider, and at least one follow-up phone call within the first
month of discharge. CONTRACTOR shall document dates, times and notes regarding such
transition support contacts and will also work with the county, as desired, to evaluate county
datasets on post discharge connections into subsequent services. Based on prior experiences
operating and evaluating residentially-based treatment settings, very quick connections at discharge
are essential to retaining clients in ongoing needed services – the goal is to effect uptake within two
weeks or less from CRT exit.
5) Timeliness of response to sick call/health service requests
Any health issue that arises while a client is in the CRT, which cannot be handled by the nursing
staff in the facility (e.g., beyond first aid, simple pain management, etc.) is addressed as an urgency
(to be addressed on the shift and/or very next shift). Staff arranges access and transportation, and
otherwise supports the client to obtain medical care, based on the nature of the issue – immediately
from a hospital ER if an emergency, or at the scheduled appointment for less acute needs.
b. Effectiveness: Objective results achieved through health care services.
Examples include:
1) Effectiveness of crisis interventions
2) Effectiveness of treatment interventions (medical and behavioral health indicators)
CONTRACTOR shall track the percent of individuals who receive a crisis service who, within 15
days and within 30 days, return for crisis services at a hospital emergency department, psychiatric
hospital or jail. CONTRACTOR shall initially aim for <20% within 30 days, and will collaborate in the
pursuit of data and analyses that involve logging in EHR and through datasets accessible to the
county from these entities. Importantly, CONTRACTOR shall actively participate in quality
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 8 of 9
improvement initiatives the COUNTY sponsors to address system of care (community provider)
uptakes necessary to avoid crises, re-hospitalizations, and re-admissions to the CRT.
Improving member experience in achieving wellness and recovery will be tracked by: a) Recording
progress on individualized goals generated through collaboration with members and families -- at
least 85% will achieve progress on most/all their treatment goals (these are measured on the
CONTRACTOR’s COR); b) Pre-post MORS (clinician rated), RAS and/or BASIS (client self-rated)
tools – there will be statistically significant desirable shifts (non-random effects) and strong effect
sizes (when latter can be determined, requires statistical norms) demonstrating reduced symptoms
and improved psycho-social functioning on standardized ratings; and, c) Completion of a WRAP by
discharge – at least 85% will create or refine an existing written WRAP (also measured on the
CONTRACTOR’s COR).
3) Effectiveness of discharge planning (such as percentage of clients successfully linked to
COUNTY programs, community providers, and/or other community resources after release)
The goal is for a large majority, 90% or more, of all clients to be connected into community based
services and supports by discharge, meaning they are not discharged to a hospital, IMD,
incarcerative setting, or homeless/shelter. CONTRACTOR shall apply the methods described above
(data gathered during warm hand-offs, follow-up phone calls, and/or through analyses of COUNTY
datasets).
4) Timely continuity of verified community prescriptions for medication(s), upon client’s
release
The goal is for a large majority, 85% or more, to experience prescription continuity. CONTRACTOR
shall apply the methods described above (data gathered during warm hand-offs, follow-up phone
calls, and/or through analyses of COUNTY datasets) to assess this.
5) Effectiveness of transportation coordination, upon release
The goal is for a large majority, 85% or more, to gain the transportation they need to participate in
aftercare services. CONTRACTOR shall provide discharging clients with bus passes, taxi vouchers,
and other means of assuring they can start aftercare programs and discussions shall take place for
how such supports can be continued with the next-on provider. CONTRACTOR shall apply the
methods described above (data gathered during warm hand-offs, follow-up phone calls, and/or
through analyses of county datasets) to assess this.
c. Efficiency: The demonstration of the relationship between results and the resources used to
achieve them.
Cost efficiency is best handled through data partnerships. CONTRACTOR shall participate in
COUNTY workgroups and/or partner with COUNTY evaluators to shape meaningful cost reduction
studies that demonstrate the positive impact of CRTs to a community’s bottom line, as well as to
those served.
d. Satisfaction and Compliance: The degree to which clients, COUNTY, and other stakeholders
are satisfied with the services.
An overall resident satisfaction rating (and family satisfaction rating, where appropriate) of at least
90% on service aspects related to quality of care, accessibility, and timeliness of services, cultural
and linguistic attunement based on results from a resident satisfaction questionnaire, approved by
the COUNTY, and administered at discharge.
EXHIBIT A—SCOPE OF WORK
Page 9 of 9
CONTRACTOR shall reach out to clients and families, hold focus groups, and conduct Satisfaction
Surveys to get direct feedback regarding satisfaction or dissatisfaction, suggestions for program
improvement, and input for interpreting outcome data. CONTRACTOR shall annually survey Agency
Partners to gather feedback about the program for improvement.
Examples include:
1) Audits and other performance and utilization reviews of health care services and
compliance with agreement terms and conditions.
CONTRACTOR’s TQM program provides a wide array of quality/fidelity protocols which can be
tapped for this program (e.g., over 100 QA probes or checklists). Quality Assurance audits will be
conducted of daily progress notes (including psychiatrist, social work, nursing progress notes) to
ensure medical necessity is present and documented; and, regular periodic utilization reviews are
structured either internally and/or in conjunction with county personnel. In all circumstances, the
local QA team, supported by regional QA Managers, summarize the findings to provide the CRT
Team with timely feedback.
2) Surveys of persons served, family members, other health care providers, and other
stakeholders
All of CONTRACTOR’S programs participate in state/county driven MHSIP twice annual (usually,
Nov, May) survey cycles and put concerted effort at achieving good response rates, and at applying
the data to QI. Residentially-based programs also run exit interviews/surveys with discharging
clients and their family members, either on random sample or full sample bases, of any/all willing to
participate. CONTRACTOR shall survey agency partners at least annually, and be available to
others’ constructive feedback and input at any time.
Overall, CONTRACTOR shall complete COUNTY mandated reporting, quarterly and annually.
Desired components, formats, cycles and timelines will all be observed. Reports will highlight both
successes and areas for improvement with related plans tracked through subsequent reporting
cycles as needed until a QA/QI project is complete. This information is shared with staff, members,
and other key stakeholders and shall be used to implement timely quality improvements
