• New with this report - a new financial page.
• The number of people served has begun to decline after a year of relative stability.
• Total service hours and hours per client have increased, reversing the declines that were shown over the last two years.
• About 85% of people served have been enrolled in Medicaid during the year. Nearly all Medicaid-enrolled individuals are seen in ongoing outpatient services, while nearly all non-Medicaid are only seen in non-outpatient crisis services.
• Of ethnic minority groups, only Asian/Pacific Islander adults continue to be below their proportion in the larger King County population (parity <1).
• Tier distribution continues to shift toward 3A benefits, with more than 80% of people receiving services currently under this benefit level.
• Residential supervised living bed days continue to decrease as the RSN has begun an increase in supported housing beds.
• Voluntary inpatient admissions continue increased for both adults and youth compared with 2007, while involuntary inpatient admissions increased only for adults. Use of Western State Hospital was slightly under the target level, which was revised July, 2007.
• Compared to the first quarter of 2007, rate of clients improving functioning, moving from homelessness to housing, obtaining independent housing, and reducing incarcerations all improved. The rate of clients obtaining employment declined slightly in contrast to the small but steady improvements during the previous year. The rate of individuals seen rapidly following hospital discharge has also improved, in contrast to earlier reports cards showing declines. This could be due to an ongoing quality improvement focus on this issue.
