<br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />Current Episodes <br />The first step toward determining the potential number of episodes that could be served by the new <br />Facility, is determining how many BH episodes currently occur in Orange County each month. This <br />information is displayed in Table 1. <br />The episode types make up the column headers in Table 1. The term episodes includes various types of <br />BH cases (mental health and substance use disorders) and includes: <br />• Cases involving Mental Health (non-violent and potentially violent episodes), <br />• Cases involving suicide or substance use disorders, <br />• Involuntary Commitments (IVC) pursuant to Magistrate review and issuance of orders, <br />• Nuisance and trespass cases involving homeless individuals, <br />• Cases involving justice-involved individuals (court processes and detention center). <br />Stakeholders make up the rows in Table 1. Stakeholders are the entities currently responding to BH <br />episodes and provide services to help individuals in crisis. These stakeholders are the sources for the data <br />shown in Table 1. These data sources are discussed in the Appendix along with notes about the <br />information provided and how the data are is used to estimate the number of BH episodes currently <br />occurring in Orange County. <br />Table 1. Current Orange County Behavioral Health Episodes per Month (without Facility). <br /> <br />Deflection Potential <br />The next step in the process of determining the number of episodes that could be served by the new <br />Facility is estimating the Deflect Rate. That is, of the number of episodes that currently occur, what <br />percent could be deflected to the new Facility in lieu of being transported to the emergency department or <br />magistrate/detention center. <br />MH-NV MH-V Suicide SUD IVCs Homeless Courts Det Ctr Total <br />EMS 17.0 52.0 69.0 <br />CHPD 8.3 4.9 3.0 5.9 22.1 <br />CPD 2.3 1.7 0.9 1.8 6.7 <br />HPD 2.4 2.1 0.3 0.5 5.3 <br />OCSO 2.3 2.2 2.3 4.5 11.3 <br />UNCP 0.2 0.0 0.2 <br />All Orange County 10.9 10.9 <br />OCSO Detention Center 15.0 15.0 <br />Courts (assessments, etc.)20.0 20.0 <br />Juvenile Justice 4.0 4.0 <br />Magstrate - IVCs 20.0 20.0 <br />OC DSS 9.1 9.1 <br />CHCCS 48.0 48.0 <br />OC Schools 31.0 31.0 <br />UNC ED/PES (Routine Caes) 100.0 100.0 <br />UNC CAPS 0.0 <br />Sobering Diversions 65.0 65.0 <br />Walk-ins 88.0 88.0 <br />Mobile Crisis (FH)13.4 13.4 <br />UNC (Urgent/Emergent)353.0 353.0 <br />Totals >>675.0 10.9 6.5 129.7 20.0 10.9 24.0 15.0 892.0 <br />Stakeholder Number of Episodes (Current Status No Crisis Facility) <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 1920B089-58AA-4E97-8225-7BCF8DEBAAD4
