BARRIERS
Solutions?
• Maine Licensing (both agency and clinician) and Billing
Structures maintain distinct bifurcation.
• Increasing fiscal pressures,
• requiring higher clinician productivity;
• limiting time for clinical collaboration (such as team meetings);
• limiting time and funds available for training to support
technology transfer.
• Pockets of resistance supported by long-held and
resilient cultural myths and reactions to personal history.
• Result: Tendency for some levels of the system
to stall half-way, implementing parallel rather
than integrated treatment.
• Utilize group and individual supervision as a
primary cost and time effective means of
technology transfer and integration;
• Identify resistance and apply strategies to
enhance motivation and increase readiness to
change.
• Further organizational change- Redefining MH
and SA Director roles to further collaboration
and minimize distinctions between services.
