FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND THE CEO/MEDICAL DIRECTOR

Thomas Marrone, M.D. Rocio Nell, M.D., C.P.E.

President of the Board CEO/Medical Director

The fiscal year of 2010/2011, from many aspects of its performance, has been a very

successful one for MCES. For the first time in its history, MCES met all the standards

of the Department of Public Welfare for all its programs: inpatient, outpatient, crisis,

mobile/medical mobile and crisis residential were found in full compliance.

MCES’ Crisis/Outreach Program was featured in the Spring issue of People First pub-

lished by the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania. It was described

as a best practice model by the OMHSAS workgroup seeking to improve crisis

intervention in Pennsylvania.

We have continued to embrace a culture of safety and trauma awareness. These efforts

have now permeated through all aspects of MCES.

We responded to an increased need for our services. We attended to a patient population

higher than what we had budgeted for. We continued to make efforts to divert from in-

patient care and provide psychiatric intervention in the least restrictive

setting.

As we ended the year, we felt reaffirmed in the quality of our services provided and in a

financial position that allowed us to look into the future with optimism in spite of the

ongoing nation’s financial crisis.

We embark in the new year with awareness that we live in a time of change that we have

no control of and that there may be expectations placed on us that will call for flexibility

and further growth.

The Board, staff and volunteers of MCES look forward to the future with the intent of

continuing making our mission a reality and bringing to others a message of hope.

2010/2011 IN SUMMARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS & GOALS

A Customer Service Philosophy was developed as MCES is dedicated to providing exceptional

customer service consistently. Our philosophy is that all customers are valued, treated with respect

and will have their needs recognized and responded to as promptly as possible.

In 2010, MCES obtained full compliance with all five Department of Public Welfare licenses, inpa-

tient, outpatient, crisis, mobile/medical mobile and crisis residential.

Community Lecture Series continued through the Fall and Spring. NAMI Montgomery County and

Life Tree Pharmacy graciously agreed to sponsor the MCES Lecture Series. Also, we were able to

get approved credits from the American Psychological Association (in cooperation with Norristown

State Hospital), which includes credits for psychologists, nurses and licensed social workers. We

also offer credits for the Pennsylvania Certification Board.

With the assistance of Tom Gailey from Gailey-Murray Communications, MCES has done the

following:

Developed a new logo and tag line...“Building Better Tomorrows.”

Redesigned the MCES website.

Begun distribution of an e-newsletter routinely throughout the year.

Television and radio interviews regarding MCES.

Given interviews and background information on newspaper coverage of mental health

issues.

Dr. Nell participated in a campaign against drugs and violence in Pottstown with a presentation on

local TV and participation in a forum at the Pottstown Middle School.

MCES has continued to develop trauma awareness with all clinical staff. Three task forces contin-

ue to work on the environment, programs and culture. Outside consultants were utilized for train-

ing and case consultations.

As part of the trauma training and at the request of staff, case conferences have been held weekly

with participation by Dr. Nell and other members of the Medical Staff. The purpose is to better

understand the people we serve and identify interventions to help them embark on the path of

recovery.

Former MCES patients returned to spread their message of hope and discuss their recovery in thera-

peutic group settings.

MCES continues to work towards, along with the Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment Workgroup,

becoming co-occurring competent. Co-Occurring consults are being done on all patients admitted

to MCES with co-occurring diagnoses.

2010/2011 IN SUMMARY

Staff formed a team and participated in the annual NAMI Walk in May 2011.

A new camera system was purchased and installed to assist with monitoring the facility and pre-

venting security and safety issues.

A contract was signed with Sequest for an electronic medical record system. A task force has been

formed to work on MCES becoming paperless with regards to medical records. This project re-

ceived financial assistance from the Montgomery County Department of Behavioral Health and De-

velopmental Disabilities.

With the assistance of MCES, Montgomery County established a Veterans Treatment Court to

more effectively address the special needs of military veterans who find themselves in the court

system or in prison.

MCES Forensic Liaison, John Fulford, received NAMI Montgomery County’s 2011 Criminal Jus-

tice Award.

MCES continued to provide support and leadership in suicide prevention in Montgomery County.

MCES is now a participant on the Pennsylvania Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Committee.

MCES has initiated an application to join LifeLine, a national network of suicide prevention hot

lines.

MCES participated in the Crisis Intervention Work Group of the PA Office of Mental Health and

Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) which reviewed county level crisis services state-wide and

issued recommendations for improving standards and practices.

Straininger Behavioral Care, from New Jersey, visited to learn about our crisis services as they

were looking to expand their crisis services.

State Senator Daylin Leach (17th District) was instrumental in getting MCES a grant to post signs

near the Dannehower Bridge regarding the MCES suicide hotline.

MCES joined the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.

The Medical Assistance litigation settlement between the Department of Public Welfare and the Hospi-

tal Association of Pennsylvania provided MCES with excess capital in 1992. The Board of Directors,

demonstrates our commitment to the long term financial viability of the organization. We encourage all

to share in this commitment by making contributions directly to the endowment.

TABLE OF ORGANIZATION

Board

• The Board of Directors of Montgomery County Emergency Service is comprised of volunteers

from the community who are interested in and active in the care/treatment of the mentally ill. These

highly committed individuals help to keep the organization true to its mission and solidly holds

MCES to the purpose that it was originally created for as advocates to keep the mentally ill patient

out of our prisons.

CEO

• The MCES CEO is under contract and is responsible for the implementation of the mission and vi-

sion of MCES, as well as being responsible for the efficient day-to-day running of the inpatient

unit, outpatient services, and ambulance service. The CEO is also responsible for promoting devel-

opment and long-term viability of MCES.

Medical Director, Nursing Executive Team and COO

• The next circle represents the Senior Management Team who, from their key positions, oversee the

hospital’s effective functioning through a commitment to excellence and implementation of CQI/

TQM principles.

• The COO acts as CEO in his/her absence, and although directly only supervises non-clinical staff,

works with the CEO in the overall effective functioning of the hospital.

• The Medical Director supervises the Medical Staff and oversees deliverance of clinical services. In

the current structure, the CEO serves as Medical Director as well, with two clearly defined and dif-

ferent functions.

• The Nurse Executive provides leadership and supervision to all nursing staff and functions.

• The Assistant Nurse Executive is the Risk Manager and acts as Nurse Executive in his/her absence.

Department Heads

• These individuals are responsible for specific areas of service. According to the scope of their job,

they are supervised by the Medical Director, Nurse Executive, COO or directly by the CEO. To-

gether they insure the collaboration of all departments and lead to the effective functioning of

MCES.

Direct Line Staff

• These individuals are responsible to attend to the direct hands-on care of our external consumers.

The direct line staff makes a reality of the organization's performance with their attitude and actions

with the consumers that set the tone for quality care on a day-to-day basis. In their day-to-day work,

they represent the Board and Administrative Team. Their feedback is crucial to promote change

and to help plan for future improvements.

Outside Customers

• The main groups identified in bold are the key people we serve; our clients, their families, the Of-

fice of Behavioral Health, and the Justice System. Other customers identified represent other peo-

ple/organizations we serve.

Annual Report 2010/2011 Page 14

TABLE OF ORGANIZATION

General Concepts

• The role of the Board is to anchor MCES to its purpose which is the implementation of its Mission

and Vision.

• Every circle supports the next from the center out. In general, everyone in the organization supports

each other.

• The role of the CEO is to serve as the “hub” who attaches MCES to the values established by the

Board.

• Think of this Table of Organization as an analogy of a tire that needs to keep its pressure to be ef-

fective. Even if they have different compartments they are interconnected. If an area is weak, the

wheel will be out of balance, or we could even become a flat tire that may be perceived as non-

effective by our customers.

• The dotted lines represent that all MCES Board and Staff are in this together. We need to com-

municate with each other and think of job functions and not departments. Ideally, with education,

the staff needs to be cross-trained on different functions and be able to perform them as needs arise.

All staff needs to operate with an awareness of the whole.

• The intent of MCES is to generate energy that supports the recovery movement. To do this the

wheel needs to move in one direction, that is towards the deliverance of excellence in the imple-

mentation of it mission.
