SacDoc executive summary

SacDoc is...

a technology package that allows us to completely reimagine the way community psychiatric care is delivered
a tool to address Sacramento County's community mental health woes and the pending gutting of Regional Support Teams (RSTs)
in place already and serving the needs of Sacramento County doctors and patients right now
proven in nine years of operation and at seven clinical sites in Sacramento County, from a small, high-intensity AB2034 program to two sprawling RSTs
a tool to enable a physician- and technology-focused approach to improving patient satisfaction and physician productivity
standards-based and implemented using free open-source software and commodity computer hardware -- a SacDoc system will never be beholden to a single vendor for operation, maintenance, updates, or support
at its heart, a web-based records management, decision support, scheduling, and resource management system tuned to the delivery of community mental health care
a community answer to a community need

an astonishingly small amount of money to speed up early deployment before funding for RSTs is exhausted on 30June2009
a small team of dedicated individuals with experience in creating, structuring, and implementing nonprofit community mental health systems -- and a willingness to go beyond the limits of that experience
plans for ongoing sources of funds for direct patient care
freedom from legacy systems that place huge, unnecessary burdens on programs and physicians
