RD88 - Semi-Annual Report of the Office of the Inspector General for Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services
Executive Summary: The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services is pleased to submit this semi-annual report of activities for the period ending on March 31, 2005. This report is issued in accordance with the provisions of VA Code § 37.1-256.1, which specifies that the Office report on significant activities and recommendations of the OIG during each six-month reporting period. The mission of the OIG is to serve as a catalyst for improving the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of services for people and their families whose lives are affected by mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse disorders. The primary goal of the OIG during this period has been to complete the first systemic reviews of the five Mental Retardation Training Centers and the nine Mental Health Hospitals operated by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services (DMHMRSAS). In designing these two major projects every effort was made to seek input from a broad range of stakeholders. It is my belief that this inclusiveness has contributed to findings and recommendations that will be more meaningful to the Governor, the members of the General Assembly, and most importantly to the consumers and families who benefit from the system of services. |
