During the past 10 years, public mental health services for children and youths in Hawaii experienced a major system restructuring. The five current goals of the Department of Health Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) strategic plan are shared ownership, accountable business practices, system of care principles, evidence-based practices, and performance evaluation. Hawaii has implemented a diverse and far-reaching evidence-based services initiative that incorporates a wide variety of quality improvement activities. The initiative may be broadly characterized as a two-pronged strategy: first, building specific empirically supported programs and second, pursuing incremental improvement of current care toward evidence-based ideals. Procedures for evaluating the Hawaii system of care for youths have evolved over the years, so long-term, well-validated child and system status measures that clearly map the course of the transformation are not available. Nevertheless, progressive information from each of the reform eras can be illuminating. A variety of qualitative and quantitative evidence indicates that the Hawaii system of care for youths has improved dramatically during the past decade. Numerous system restructuring and quality improvement activities were implemented during this period.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
