245.4931 INTEGRATED LOCAL SERVICE SYSTEM.
The integrated service system established by the local children's mental health collaborative
must:
(1) include a process for communicating to agencies in the local system of care eligibility
criteria for services received through the local children's mental health collaborative and a process
for determining eligibility. The process shall place strong emphasis on outreach to families,
respecting the family role in identifying children in need, and valuing families as partners;
(2) include measurable outcomes, timelines for evaluating progress, and mechanisms for
quality assurance and appeals;
(3) involve the family, and where appropriate the individual child, in developing multiagency
service plans to the extent required in sections 125A.08; 245.4871, subdivision 21; 245.4881,
subdivision 4 ; 253B.03, subdivision 7; 260C.212, subdivision 1; and 260C.201, subdivision 6;
(4) meet all standards and provide all mental health services as required in sections 245.487
to 245.4887, and ensure that the services provided are culturally appropriate;
(5) spend funds generated by the local children's mental health collaborative as required in
sections 245.491 to 245.495;
(6) encourage public-private partnerships to increase efficiency, reduce redundancy, and
promote quality of care; and
(7) ensure that, if the county participant of the local children's mental health collaborative is
also a provider of child welfare targeted case management as authorized by the 1993 legislature,
then federal reimbursement received by the county for child welfare targeted case management
provided to children served by the local children's mental health collaborative must be directed to
the integrated fund.
