Program Authorization: Act 253 of 1972; Act 519 of 1978; and Act 1 of First Extraordinary Session of 1988
The mission of the Administration and Support Program is to provide support services to the facility.
The goal of the Administration and Support Program is to provide efficient and effective administrative and support services to the programs and services provided at the facility.
The Administration and Support Program is responsible for the management of and operational support for the provision of a comprehensive array of mental health services. These are delivered through an integrated system of patient care services in a manner consistent with all federal/state certification, licensing, governing body, legislative mandates, and other regulatory body standards, including the maintaining of HCFA (Health Care Financing Administration) and JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations) accreditations.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
1. In FY 1998-99, the Administration and Support Program will provide leadership, program development, and efficient and effective utilization of resources as evidenced by operating within the approved expenditure authority.

RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The Administration and Support Program is funded with general fund, interagency transfers and fees and self-generated revenues. Interagency transfers include Title XIX reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid eligible patients, and reimbursement from the Office of Community Services for the Spring House, and IAT from the Health Care Services Division - Earl K. Long Medical Center for the inpatient psychiatric acute unit and reimbursement from Vocational Rehabilitation. Self-generated revenue represents reimbursement for ineligible patients with insurance or personal payments based on a sliding fee scale and meals served to employees and visitors.
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 110.5% of the existing operating budget. It represents 79.9% of the total request ($3,773,707) for this program. The major changes reflected in this analysis include: a transfer of $420,617 of interagency transfers from Community to Mental Health to replace operating services funds taken in FY 96/97 on the basis that risk management premiums would be reduced; reduce interagency transfers by $69,214 for a decrease in risk management premiums; substitute $146,699 of interagency transfers for self-generated revenue to reflect an estimated decrease in self-paying patient revenue. The changes should have no significant impact on the delivery of these services.
