At Partnering For Excellence, we stress the importance of collaborating and working together to ensure the best possible care for those that we serve. Oftentimes, we have multiple departments/organizations that act as "silos" and don't communicate with one another despite usually caring for/treating the same populations in similar capacities. As an initiative, we work to bring together county level Department of Social Services, Managed Care Organizations, and local providers. By doing so, PFE aims to provide cost savings by decreasing entry into DSS custody and reducing the need for high-end behavioral health services for children involved in the child welfare system. Early PFE outcome evaluation results indicate that the project is off to a hugely successful start which is very similar to what the Roberts Woods Johnson Foundation has identified in their research below.
