THE MEADOWS MENTAL HEALTH POLICY INSTITUTE HAS ESTABLISHED FIVE KEY PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE THE WORK OF THE INSTITUTE. THESE PRINCIPLES ARE THE RESULT OF RESEARCH INTO BEST PRACTICES AND EFFECTIVE POLICIES IN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE FIVE KEY PRINCIPLES ARE THE FOLLOWING:1) TEXANS DESERVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE THAT IS ACCESSIBLE, UNDERSTANDABLE, EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE.2) THE STATE OF TEXAS AND ITS AGENCIES MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE TO TAXPAYERS FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEMS.3) BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE IS BEST DELIVERED THROUGH LOCAL SYSTEMS THAT ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR RESULTS AND ABLE TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO HELP TEXANS IN NEED.4) PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM MUST BE CONTINUOUS, OUTCOME FOCUSED, AND DRIVEN BY MEANINGFUL DATA.5) A SKILLED AND ROBUST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE IS ESSENTIAL TO IMPROVE THE WELLNESS OF TEXANS.
TO PROVIDE INDEPENDENT, NON-PARTISAN, AND TRUSTED POLICY AND PROGRAM GUIDANCE THAT CREATES SYSTEMIC CHANGES SO ALL TEXANS CAN OBTAIN EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE WHEN AND WHERE THEY NEED IT.
IMPROVE STATE LEVEL POLICY - STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS, THE WAY THEY ARE IMPLEMENTED, AND THE WAY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HEALTH CARE FUNDING FLOWS ALL AFFECT WHAT HEALTH CARE IS DELIVERED AND HOW. THE MEADOWS INSTITUTE PROVIDES TEXAS LEADERS WITH THE BEST DATA AND RESEARCH AVAILABLE WHEN THEY MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT LAWS, IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES, AND HOW TO FUND DELIVERY SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE AND QUALITY CARE.
DEVELOP LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEMS - THE MEADOWS INSTITUTE PUTS POLICY INTO PRACTICE, AND OUR POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REAL WORLD. THE MEADOWS INSTITUTE WORKS ON THE GROUND IN EVERY REGION OF THE STATE, SO WE HAVE FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE OF COMMUNITY CAPACITY, INNOVATIONS, AND IMMEDIATE AND EMERGING COMMUNITY NEEDS. THIS UNIQUE POSITION INFORMS THE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS WE BRING TO AUSTIN, AND ALSO LETS THE MEADOWS INSTITUTE BETTER ASSIST LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN COLLABORATING AND WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS OPERATE AND RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS.
CHANGE PUBLIC AWARENESS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE CARE - TWO-THIRDS OF PEOPLE WHO NEED CARE NEVER SEEK IT, OFTEN BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT EFFECTIVE AND QUALITY SERVICES HELP ARE AVAILABLE AND RECOVERY AND REMISSION ARE POSSIBLE. NINE IN TEN TEXANS FEEL THAT MENTAL HEALTH IS HARDER TO TALK ABOUT THAN OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS. THEREFORE, THE MEADOWS INSTITUTE WORKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF MENTAL AND BRAIN DISEASES AND THEIR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT, SO THAT TEXANS TALK MORE OPENLY ABOUT MENTAL AND BRAIN HEALTH AND HELP EACH OTHER ACCESS EFFECTIVE CARE.
