SUMMARY
KEY REQUIREMENTS
Issuing Agency
Rhode Island Department Of Administration/Division Of Purchases
DESCRIPTION
The State of Rhode Island is seeking information from vendors capable of providing single point of access services for children's behavioral health. The initiative is intended to establish a consistent statewide access pathway for children, youth, and families, regardless of where they initially seek assistance.
The envisioned service would support standardized, timely, and comprehensive clinical assessments conducted by independent clinicians, replacing inconsistent or duplicative assessment practices. It would also ensure that referrals result in connections to recommended services by maintaining engagement with families until care begins.
Additional objectives include improving timely access for children and youth with urgent needs, reducing reliance on emergency departments and out-of-home care as default access points, creating a primary promoted access point for Mobile Response and Stabilization Services, and providing the State with real-time visibility into demand, capacity, and unmet needs across the children's behavioral health service system.
