Developing a utilization review model for community mental health centers. 1975

J Tippett, and B Smith

During their struggles to develop a utilization review model for a community mental health center, members of an interdisciplinary committee identified several issues they believe are important in establishing such a model. They include comprehensiveness of participation and of areas for review (the review committee should represent all disciplines and programs, and should be concerned with any aspect of center functioning), a problem-review approach in which subcommittees carry out documented studies of issues or problems, and specific provision for feedback and implementation of the results.
