Mecklenburg Needs Assessment
|
The current contract between the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and each Local Management Entity (LME) requires an assessment of the adequacy of the local provider community. Taking into account the county’s population, the assessment must identify gaps in the service array and the number and variety of providers for each service. It must also include input from consumers, families, and community stakeholders. Additional requirements specify targeted inquiry, including regarding children’s services, CAP services, serving those with different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and an inventory of those providers willing to contribute to community emergency response efforts in the case of natural or other catastrophic disasters.
