Inspirational Thought - "I've come to believe that each of us has a personal
calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover

hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you." ~ Oprah Winfrey

There were no reports from Closed Session.
1:30 P.M . Adjourn to Special Meeting of the Contra Costa County Housing Authority
2:00 P.M.
D.3 CONSIDER accepting a report from the Health Services Department on a number
of important issues related to the delivery of services to patients with psychiatric
disorders. (William Walker, M.D., Health Services Director)
Chair Bonilla noted that through the recent efforts of the Internal Operations
Committee, the policy and procedures for the public to request records have been
clarified and simplified, including the creation of a standard form and making
that form available online.
Silvano Marchesi, County Counsel, outlined the history of the County’s Better
Government Ordinance adopted in 1995, which sets policy exceeding the
requirements of the California Public Records Acts, notably in setting a very
prompt initial response time to acknowledge the receipt of the request and
information on the subsequent actions being taken to fill the request.
Chair Bonilla said the County has for many years had a strong commitment to
providing public access to records above and beyond state requirements.
Dr. Walker, Health Servicecs Director, said his report would cover three main
topics today: public access to records, ongoing efforts in regard to safety and
quality of care in the Emergency Department Crisis Stabilization Unit, and the
current status of the property at 20 Allen Street.
Dr. Walker recounted recent events in attempting to fill a records request from
the Contra Costa Times
regarding all Unusual Occurance Notification reports from the emergency
department and inpatient psychiatric unit that were submitted to the state from
2004 until the present. To ensure compliance with patient confidentiality laws,
the department sought the assistance of a law firm experienced with the handling
of patient records and submitted the redacted records in accordance with the
firm’s advice. The Contra Costa Times objected to the amount of redaction. The
department sought review from County Counsel. The records were resubmitted
with fewer redactions. The department has six more records that will be provided
to the Times by week’s end. Dr. Walker said he believed the Times is now satisfied
it’s request had been fulfilled. Dr. Walker further noted the challenges of not only
protection of patient privacy, but over a span of years changing laws in regard to
what information is gathered, the level of detail of information gathered, multiple
changes to the report names, and new and more restrictive laws as time
progresses.
The Board did not disagree with the decision made to retain outside counsel with
expertise in the very sensitive area of patient confidentiality. The Board did
request that in the future County Counsel be advised and included when legal
opinions are deemed desirable or necessary, and that Counsel keep the Board
informed of such matters.
Juliette Kelly, Interim Program Chief of Psychiatric Services reported on the
current state and future plans for the Emergency Department’ Crisis
Stabilization Unit:
The emergency department is the only intake location in Contra Costa County
for psychiatric emergencies. Patients in crisis are brought to the emergency
room, medically assessed and then taken to the other half of the emergency
department, the Crisis Stabilization Unit (csu). After being stabilized, some
patients are admitted to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center’s (CCRMC)
psychiatric inpatient unit while others are placed in more appropriate places
offsite, in accordance with their care needs. The csu is open 24 hours a day year-
round. At this time the unit is for both children and adults, and patients are seen
initially in the emergency department. The department derives its guidelines of
operations from the Institute of Medicine’s Performance and Improvement
Initiatives. The guidelines are safe, timely, efficient and effective care. The unit
has adopted prior initiatives from the Institute in relation to staff education and
weekly case conferences. The unit works closely with the mental health division
to improve care throughout the County and achieve continuity of care when the
patient leaves hospitalization. This year the unit has worked toward forming
healthcare partnerships with patient families and medical and psychiatric care
providers and volunteers in order to create the best support and case
management for the patient.
Future plans for the unit include continuing to pursue comprehensive
partnerships with all medical staff and volunteers to develop and sustain the best
treatment and case management for the patient. Futher efforts will be made to
improve the specialized “Code Gray” psychiatric emergency response teams and
to standardize the precautions taken in the psychiatric emergency area for
patients and staff members.
Dr. Walker updated the Board on the current status of the property at 20 Allen
Street, Martinez. December 31, 2009 is the deadline for acquisition of the site.
The Health Services Department has had ongoing conversations with the Board
of Supervisors, the Mental Health Commission, The Mental Health Services Act
Consolidated Planning Advisory workgroup, the Capital Facilities workgroup
and community stakeholders concerning the disposition of the site. The site is
very advantageous in its location adjacent to the hospital and the purchase price
has recently become more affordable. A board order will be brought before the
Board on December 15, 2009 regarding acquisition of the property.
Chair Bonilla called for public comment. The following people spoke:
Ralph Hoffman, International Association for the Advancement for Creative
Maladjustment;
Robert Heaston, Jr., resident of Walnut Creek (written material provided);
Brandi Draper, resident of Brentwood;
James Wogan, Mt. Diablo Unified Foster Youth Services;
Frank Barham, M.D., Child & Adolescent Task Force;
Ryan Nestman, Child & Adolescent Task Force;
Kathi McLaughlin, Child & Adolescent Task Force (written material provided);
Stuart McCollough, on behalf of youth homes.
All speakers were in favor of locating a psychiatric receiving center at the 20
Allen Street site.
Dr. Walker will apprise the Board of how the concerns of Mr. Heaston regarding
his child’s experience in the Crisis Stabilization Unit and inpatient stay are
addressed, staff interaction with patients and family members, and policies in
place regarding separation of a child in psychiatric crisis from the
parent/guardian.
The Board thanked staff and the public speakers for their participation and took
the following actions:
ACCEPTED the report; DIRECTED that County Counsel be quickly informed of
matters potentially requiring legal guidance; and DIRECTED the Health
Services Director return to the Board with reports: 1) addressing a plan for the
use of the property located at 20 Allen Street, Martinez 2) regarding patients’
complaints involving interaction with service providers and 3) policies and
procedures in the separation of a minor from a parent or guardian.
