Transition options, opportunities for integration, and funding considerations following coordinated specialty care
Transition options, opportunities for integration, and funding considerations following coordinated specialty care
CSC programs manage transitions differently based on their program length, the nature of step-down processes already in place, and the location of placement following transition. Transition services typically have reduced frequency and intensity of services and can be provided by a stand-alone, step-down program or can be incorporated with the CSC programs. Approximately three-quarters of clinical staff and administrators interviewed favored either a three-to-five-year CSC program model, or reported that the program length should be tied to client need and not fixed. The concept of longer period of services contrasts with the original concept of CSC as a two-year, time-limited intervention. CSC programs that are well integrated into larger systems (e.g., large hospitals or community mental health centers) tend to have greater options to serve their clients following graduation. Transition Age Youth (TAY) programs match the developmental stage of most clients in CSCs program and, if available, are preferred option for post-discharge placement.
