Government Agencies

Government agencies face unique challenges related to the administration of mental health and substance abuse treatment services.  In addition to the difficulties associated with recommending and delivering clinical care that best fits a given consumer's condition, government agencies often need to do more with less.  Offering more programs and services with dwindling resources can be daunting when multiple programs are vying for the same funding -- especially when insufficient data exist for sound decision-making.

Polaris systems provide superior, peer reviewed, scientifically sound instrumentation.  Our technology can be used to easily collect data to benefit consumers, their caregivers and clinical providers.  Polaris's systems are built on predictive modeling and can help public agencies:

• Integrate clinical management and decision making across programs
   
• Streamline and standardize clinical intake procedures
   
• Understand clinical performance across programs while controlling for difference in consumer populations.
   
• Collect evidence based clinical outcomes data to support the Recovery and Resiliency models of care.
   
• Generate reports that have meaning for the front line clinician and include the voice of the consumer, their caregiver and/or advocate as well as the clinician.
