Monroe County DRS Plan Page 2 of 24
I. Background/ Purpose:
In accordance with the changes promulgated by Senate Bill 12 to Florida Statute 394 (Florida
Mental Health Act, commonly referred to as the "Baker Act "), and Florida Statute 397
(commonly referred to as the Marchman Act), Monroe County in collaboration with South
Florida Behavioral Health Network (the Managing Entity) have completed this Designated
Receiving System (DRS) Plan. Implementation of this plan assures the coordinated provision of
emergency services for people in need of help for behavioral health disorders and supports a
comprehensive behavioral system of care.
This DRS Plan describes how the community shall ensure the provision of the "No Wrong Door
Model" defined in FS 394.4573. This description includes the organization of the DRS and how
it responds to individual needs and integrates services among various providers.
The designated receiving system may be organized in any manner which functions as a no-
wrong -door model. Such models include, but are not limited to:
A central receiving system is identified as a system that consists of a designated central
receiving facility that serves as a single entry point for persons with mental health or
substance use disorders, or co- occurring disorders. The central receiving facility shall be
capable of assessment, evaluation, and triage or treatment or stabilization of persons with
mental health or substance use disorders, or co- occurring disorders.
A coordinated receiving system as a system that consists of multiple entry points that
are linked by shared data systems, formal referral agreements, and cooperative
arrangements for care coordination and case management. Each entry point shall be a
designated receiving facility and shall, within existing resources, provide or arrange for
necessary services following an initial assessment and evaluation.
A tiered receiving system consists of multiple entry points, some of which offer only
specialized or limited services. Each service provider shall be classified according to its
capabilities as either a designated receiving facility or another type of service provider,
such as a triage center, a licensed detoxification facility, or an access center. All
participating service providers shall, within existing resources, be linked by methods to
share data, formal referral agreements, and cooperative arrangements for care
coordination and case management.
o
The DRS may be organized in any manner that functions as a No- Wrong -Door Model that
responds to individual needs and integrates the services of various providers.
Monroe County DRS Plan Page 3 of 24
The County and the Managing Entity shall review and update, as necessary, the designated
receiving system at least once every 3 years. An accurate inventory of the participating service
providers shall be maintained and made available at all times to all first responders in the service
area.
II. Monroe County's Designated Receiving System (DRS)
Monroe County's Designated Receiving System is best described as a centralized receiving
system.
In Monroe County, there are 2 designated receiving facilities which are both publicly funded
(Guidance Care Center, Inc. and Lower Keys Medical Center).
SFBHN currently funds a total of 12.80 beds at these public receiving facilities — 10.92 are CSU
beds and 1.88 are DETOX beds. The following are the number of funded beds at each facility, by
type:
• Guidance Center Center, Inc. — 9.10 Adult CSU beds
1.88 DETOX beds
• Lower Keys Medical Center — 1.82 Adult CSU beds
*Note: Contract bed totals are subject to change due to rate enhancements.
The County's approach to develop the designated receiving system for Monroe County is one
that attempts to maintain the current process for Baker Acts for law enforcement, so that they are
transporting Baker Acts to the nearest most appropriate receiving facility (as is the case
currently). This is consistent with the requirement in Senate Bill 12 to ensure that there is a "no
wrong door" approach for acute care services. SFBHN held a public meeting in Monroe County
for input and will continue to receive feedback from the stakeholders on the continued
implementation of the Designated Receiving System through its community needs process. The
sign in sheet for the public meeting can be found in Attachment D.
SFBHN has identified the Guidance /Care Center as the provider that will be designated as the
central receiving facility for the centralized receiving system, described above.
Consumer is taken by Law Enforcement to the nearest receiving facility, which is the
centralized receiving system:
The consumer can be referred to the centralized receiving system through multiple entry points:
as a transfer from other facilities (such as jails /prisons, courts or hospitals), as a self - referral, as a
consumer that is picked up by law enforcement for a Baker Act/Marchman Act, etc. If the
consumer is referred to the centralized receiving system because he /she is picked up by law
enforcement as a result of a Baker Act, then he /she is taken to the nearest receiving facility
(public /private). If the nearest receiving facility is a public receiving facility, then the consumer
will be screened for both behavioral health and financial eligibility (indigent vs. private pay). If
that consumer meets acute care criteria and there is capacity at that public receiving facility, then
he /she will be accepted, stabilized and treated. Once the person is stabilized, if the consumer is
Monroe County DRS Plan Page 4 of 24
determined to be indigent, then the designated receiving facility will create a discharge plan,
which includes a recommended level of care. The consumer will also be screened for care
coordination through SFBHN. If that consumer meets criteria for care coordination, then a
referral will be made to SFBHN's Care Coordination Department. If the person does not meet
criteria for care coordination, then a referral will be made to an SFBHN provider that has the
recommended level of care within their treatment continuum.
If it is determined that the consumer meets acute care criteria, but the public receiving facility
doesn't have capacity, then the public receiving facility will coordinate a transfer to another
receiving facility that has capacity. It is important to note that if the consumer is a Baker Act,
then the law allows for the receiving facility to keep that consumer as long as they do not go over
10% of their licensed bed capacity. However, if the consumer is a Marchman Act, which does
not allow for that flexibility should the receiving facility be at licensed capacity, then the
receiving facility must coordinate the transfer of that consumer to another public receiving
facility and /or hospital that has capacity.
If it is determined (through the screening process) that the consumer does not meet criteria for
acute care, then the public receiving facility will determine the recommended level of care for
that consumer. If the recommended level of care is one that is actively managed by SFBHN
(Short-term Residential Treatment (SRT), Residential treatment), then SFBHN's Adult System
of Care Department will be contacted in order to coordinate that referral. If the recommended
level of care for that indigent consumer is not actively managed by SFBHN, then the receiving
facility will contact the SFBHN provider directly. Referrals will be made to best match the
consumers with their needs and geographic preference. If no preference or specific needs are
noted, then referrals are made on a rotating basis. All referrals that come through the centralized
receiving system will be well documented and will available for review to SFBHN.
Consumer is taken by Law Enforcement to the nearest receiving facility, which is a private
receiving facility:
If the consumer is referred to the centralized receiving system because he /she is picked up by law
enforcement as a result of a Baker Act, then he /she is taken to the nearest receiving facility
(public /private). If the nearest receiving facility is a private receiving facility, then he /she will be
screened to determine if he /she meets acute care criteria. If he /she meets criteria, then the
consumer will remain at the private receiving facility and will be stabilized and treated. A
discharge plan will be made by the private receiving facility, which includes a recommended
level of care. If it is determined that the consumer is an indigent consumer and meets acute care
criteria, then a consumer may be transferred to the centralized receiving system for continued
acute care services and /or referral to lower level of care services.
Consumer is self - referred for any publically funded service:
Monroe County DRS Plan Page 5 of 24
If the consumer is seeking publically funded services, the consumer can access care through the
centralized receiving facility. The centralized receiving facility has satellite offices throughout
Monroe County which allows for screening and level of care assessment. Based on the
consumers identified needs, the facility will make referrals accordingly including for acute care
services if necessary.
A Process Flow of the Centralized Receiving System is found in Attachment A. The
Transportation plan that outlines how consumers needing acute care are transported can be found
in Attachment B.

IV. Designated Receiving System (DRS) Agreements
Through SFBHN's Acute Care Data System partners can share data and be aware of available
beds in the Centralized Receiving System.
SFBHN has been working with Knight Software (KIS) to expand the current service data system
to fully integrate Utilization Management, Acute Care reporting and Financial Reporting into
one, cohesive application.
The KIS Integrated Solution has been developed with the goal to improve the clinical and
psychosocial outcomes of stakeholders within the mental healthcare system by providing a
system for securely sharing clinical and psychosocial information across authorized healthcare
providers to facilitate coordination of care and improve outcomes.
The first phase of the new KIS Utilization Management system was implemented effective
March 1, 2016. The system is currently capturing adult screening and assessment data. The
second phase of referral and bed management is currently in development.
The KIS Integrated Solution will allow providers within the network to enroll consumers, record
clinical and other psychosocial history, coordinate their care through management of referrals
and shared access to the clinical information, and document the outcomes of care.
A full description of the data functions can be found in SFBHN's Information Technology (IT)
Plan and is available at "rw" , , st1)fm.or .
Network providers have individual contracts and executed Business Associate Agreements
(BAAs) through their main contract with SFBHN which allows for data sharing and coordination
of care. Providers collaborate with SFBHN and each other to ensure consumers are linked to
services.
Agreements can be found in Attachment C.

Attachment B — Transportation Plan Monroe
Transportation Plan for Baker Act and Marchman Act Involuntary Examinations
Department of Children and Families
Circuit 16 (Monroe County)
This transportation plan shall describe methods of transport to a facility within the designated
receiving system for individuals subject to involuntary examination under the Baker Act s.
394.463 or involuntary admission under the Marchman Act s. 397.6772, s. 397.679, s. 397.6798,
or s. 397.6811.
When any law enforcement officer has custody of a person based on either noncriminal or minor
criminal behavior that meets the statutory guidelines for involuntary examination pursuant to s.
394.463, the law enforcement officer shall transport the person to the appropriate facility within
the designated receiving system pursuant to a transportation plan or an exception or to the
nearest receiving facility if neither apply. Persons who meet the statutory guidelines for
involuntary admission pursuant to s. 397.675 may also be transported by law enforcement
officers to the extent resources are available and as otherwise provided by law. Such persons
shall be transported to an appropriate facility within the designated receiving system pursuant to
a transportation plan or an exception or to the nearest facility if neither apply.
The Florida Mental Health Act, usually referred to as "The Baker Act," states that a person may
be taken to a receiving facility for involuntary examination if there is reason to believe that the
person has a mental illness and because of his or her mental illness:
The person has refused voluntary examination after conscientious explanation and disclosure of
the purpose of the examination; or the person is unable to determine for himself or herself
whether examination is necessary; and without care or treatment, the person is likely to suffer
from neglect or refuse to care for himself or herself, such neglect or refusal poses a real and
present threat of substantial harm to his or her well- being; and it is not apparent that such harm
may be avoided through the help of willing family members or friends or the provision of other
services; or there is a substantial likelihood that without care or treatment the person will cause
serious bodily harm to himself or herself or others in the near future, as evidenced by recent
behavior.
The Marchman Act is the Florida Substance Abuse Impairment Act which requires that a person
who meets the criteria for involuntary admission if there is good faith reason to believe that the
person is substance abuse impaired or has a co- occurring mental health disorder and, because of
such impairment or disorder:
Has lost the power of self - control with respect to substance abuse; and is in need of substance
abuse services and, by reason of substance abuse impairment, his or her judgment has been so
impaired that he or she is incapable of appreciating his or her need for such services and of
making a rational decision in that regard, although mere refusal to receive such services does not
constitute evidence of lack of judgment with respect to his or her need for such services; or
Monroe County DRS Plan Page 11 of 24
without care or treatment, is likely to suffer from neglect or refuse to care for himself or herself,
that such neglect or refusal poses a real and present threat of substantial harm to his or her well-
being; and that it is not apparent that such harm may be avoided through the help of willing
family members or friends or the provision of other services, or there is substantial likelihood
that the person has inflicted, or threatened to or attempted to inflict, or, unless admitted, is likely
to inflict, physical harm on himself, herself, or another.
The law requires that each county shall designate a single law enforcement agency within the
county, or portions thereof, to take a person into custody upon the entry of an ex parte order or
the execution of a certificate for involuntary examination by an authorized professional and to
transport that person to the appropriate facility within the designated receiving system pursuant
to this transportation plan.
The law enforcement agency may decline to transport the person to a receiving facility only if:
a. The jurisdiction designated by the county has contracted on an annual basis with
an emergency medical transport service or private transport company for
transportation of persons to receiving facilities pursuant to this section at the sole
cost of the county; and
b. The law enforcement agency and the emergency medical transport service or
private transport company agree that the continued presence of law enforcement
personnel is not necessary for the safety of the person or others.
The Monroe County Sherriff s Department and City of Key West Police Department provide
transportation of consumers under the Baker Act and /or Marchman Act throughout Monroe
County.
Monroe County Transportation Plan guidelines for Baker Act:
If a law enforcement officer believes that a person has an emergency medical condition as
defined in s. 395.002, the person should be first transported to a hospital for emergency medical
treatment, regardless of whether the hospital is a designated receiving facility or part of the
centralized receiving system.
Law enforcement should transport consumers meeting the requirements for an involuntary
examination under the Baker Act to the nearest receiving facility, unless the consumer is an
inmate, at which time, law enforcement should transport the consumer directly to the Central
Receiving Facility (Guidance Care Center, Inc.).
A list of Monroe County designated receiving facilities that can provide medical examination
and treatment of persons for whom an involuntary examination has been initiated under the
Baker Act can be found in Appendix A.
Monroe County Transportation Plan guidelines for Marchman Act:
If a law enforcement officer believes that a person has an emergency medical condition as
defined in s. 395.002, the person should be first transported to a hospital for emergency medical
treatment, regardless of whether the hospital is a designated receiving facility or part of the
centralized receiving system.
Monroe County DRS Plan Page 12 of 24
Law enforcement should transport consumers (Adults and Minors) under the Marchman Act to
the nearest Addiction Receiving Facility.

THE FLORIDA SENATE
2016 SUMMARY OF LEGISLATION PASSED
Committee on Children, Families,
And Elder Affairs
CS /SB 12 — Mental Health and Substance Abuse
by Appropriations Committee and Senators Garcia, Galvano and Ring
The bill addresses Florida's system for the delivery of behavioral health services. The bill
provides for mental health services for children, parents, and others seeking custody of children
involved in dependency court proceedings. The bill identifies the components of a coordinated
system of care to be provided for individuals with mental illness or substance use disorder and
defines a "No Wrong Door" model for accessing care.
The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the Department of Children and
Families (DCF) are directed to modify licensure requirements through the rulemaking process if
possible, to create an option for a single, consolidated license to provide both mental health and
substance use disorder services. For modifications requiring statutory revisions, the agency and
the department shall produce a plan for consolidation to the Legislature by November 1, 2016.
Additionally, by December 31, 2016, AHCA and DCF are directed to develop a plan to increase
federal funding for behavioral health care; compile detailed documentation of the cost and
reimbursements for Medicaid covered services provided to Medicaid eligible individuals by
providers of behavioral health care services. If the report provides clear and convincing evidence
that Medicaid reimbursements are less than the costs of providing services, the agency and the
department shall request additional trust fund authority necessary to draw down Medicaid funds
as a match for the documented general revenue expenditures supporting covered services
delivered to eligible individuals.
To more closely align the Baker Act (mental illness) and Marchman Act (substance abuse), the
bill modifies the legal procedures and timelines, as well as processes for assessment, evaluation,
and provision of services.
The duties and responsibilities of DCF are revised for the contract and oversight of the managing
entities'. The duties and responsibilities of the managing entities are also revised. The new duties
include, among others, the requirement to conduct a community behavioral health care needs
assessment every three years in the geographic area served by the managing entity; determine the
optimal array of services to meet the needs identified in the needs assessment and develop
strategies to divert people with mental illness or substance use disorder from the criminal justice
system and collaborate with the Department of Juvenile Justice and the state court system to
integrate behavioral health services with the child welfare system.
' See s. 394.9082, F. S. A managing entity is a not - for -profit corporation organized in Florida which is under contract
with DCF on a regional basis to manage the day -to -day operational delivery of behavioral health services through an
organized system of care and a network of providers who are contracted with the managing entity to provide a
comprehensive array of emergency, acute care, residential, outpatient, recovery support, and consumer support
services related to behavioral health.

CS /SB 12 Page: 1
Committee on Children, Families,
2016 Summary of Legislation Passed And Elder Affairs
By September 1 of each year, beginning in 2017, each managing entity is required to develop
and submit a plan to the department describing the strategies for enhancing services and
addressing three to five priority needs in the service area. The plans must be developed with
input from consumers and their families, local governments, local law enforcement agencies, and
other stakeholders.
The department is directed to update the crisis stabilization services utilization database. The
database is renamed the acute care services utilization database. Managing entities are required
to collect utilization data from all public receiving facilities situated within its geographical
service area and all detoxification and addictions receiving facilities under contract with the
managing entity.
The bill allows a crisis stabilization unit, a short-term residential treatment facility, or an
integrated adult mental health crisis stabilization and addictions receiving facility that is
collocated with a centralized receiving facility to be in a multi -story building and may be
authorized on floors other than the ground floor.
The department is to develop certain forms to be used by law enforcement for use when a person
is taken into custody under chapter 397. The department is also to develop a website and post
standard forms to be used to file a petition for involuntary admission under the Marchman Act.
The bill has a fiscal impact of $400,000 in nonrecurring funds from the Operations and
Maintenance Trust Fund to DCF for the purpose of modifying the existing crisis stabilization
database to collect and analyze data and information pursuant to s. 397.321, F.S.
If approved by the Governor, these provisions take effect July 1, 2016
Vote: Senate 38 -0; House 118 -1
