The_ Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases was established by chapter 285 of the General Acts of 1916, suc- ceeding the former State Board of Insanity, The Commission has general supervision of all public and private institutions for the insane, feeble-minded and epileptic persons, etc., and it has the right of investigation and recom- mendation as to any matter relating to the classes under care. Each State institution has, however, its Board of Trustees ap- pointed by the Governor and Council. The Commission inspects the institutions with reference to matters considered worthy of observation, and ascertains whether the laws relative to patients are properly observed. It has power to investigate the question of sanity and con- dition of any person restrained of his liberty by reason of alleged insanity, and discharge any such person, who, in its opinion, is not insane, or who can be cared for after such dis- charge without danger to others and with benefit to himself. It acts often as a board of appeal in adjusting difficulties. The powers of the Commission also control the interrelations of institutions and matters which are common to them all, such as transfers of patients, deportation of patients to other States and countries, claims to support as State charges in institu- tions, etc. Expenditure of money under special appropriations for new buildings, unusual repairs, etc., is under the control of the Com- 10 COMMISSION ON MENTAL DISEASES. [Jan. mission. It is required to prepare plans for buildings and to select land to be taken by the Commonwealth for the purpose of any new or extension of existing institutions. The Commis- sion also analyzes all requests for maintenance, appropriations, etc. The laws regarding the insane and other classes under care will be found in chapter 504 of the Acts of 1909, and amend- ments thereof. SPECIAL NEEDS OF THE INSTITUTIONS. The Commission believes that the special requests for appro- priations should be limited to the essential requirements, and that the building program should provide accommodations only for the expected increase in population and for the over- crowding. Inasmuch as it would be inadvisable to attempt any large building operations during the period of the war, there has been no further development at the Metropolitan Hospital site, it being thought best to provide additional accommodations at the Boston State Hospital in accordance with the plan of development of that institution. The need for accommoda- tions is greatest in the districts served by the Boston State Hospital and the Northampton State Hospital. With their increasing admission rate it has been necessary to make room by transferring numbers of patients to outlying institutions. The Commission believes it advisable to evolve a program to cover a period of at least ten years, caring for the needs of each hospital district, so that a definite policy can be presented to the Legislature each year for appropriations other than those necessary to care for the maintenance of institutions. Work on the proposed school for the feeble-minded at Bel- chertown has been delayed inasmuch as a water supply cannot be obtained on the site, as was assured when the property was purchased, and to secure a supply elsewhere requires further legislation. To care for the property temporarily, clear some of the land and put in crops, a colony of boys was transferred from the Wrentham State School to one of the farm buildings at Belchertown, being operated by and under the supervision 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 117. 11 of the Wrentham State School. In the recommendations of the Commission a request is included to provide a water supply for the proposed school. THE STANDARD OF CARE in the State hospitals has been materially lowered by reason of the war, and great difficulty is being experienced in keeping a quota of officers and employees barely sufficient to administer our institutions with safety. Extra demands have been made on the members of the medical staffs whose training and ex- perience especially fit them for the examinations of drafted men and of the National Guard. For several years difficulty has been experienced in recruiting new employees. Much higher wages received in the community during the past year presented an even greater handicap to the institutions, and a revision of the wage schedule was impera- tive. It should be pointed out that the wage schedule of the nurse and attendant group has always been very low, the best proof being that these services no longer attract applicants. The result has been prejudicial to the best interests and welfare of the patients. Low wages attract only the restless and un- satisfactory; employees of a higher standard can easily find better-paid work. To obtain a class of employees who will con- tinue in the service, a living wage and proper housing condi- tions must be provided. While this might appear to require a material increase in the appropriation for personal service, it is believed that not so large a number of employees, if competent, would be required. The State would be the gainer, and the patients receive adequate and proper care. Under these conditions it would not be neces- sary to engage indifferent employees, unmindful of the best interests of the patients, and wasteful of institutional property. At the present time, owing to the inadequate working force, it is necessary for the institutions to send representatives con- tinuously to employment agencies. 12 COMMISSION ON MENTAL DISEASES. [Jan. STANDARDIZATION OF SALARIES. During the year the Commission has co-operated with a sub- committee of the Governor's Council, and the Supervisor of Administration, in the work of standardization of salaries of officers and employees at the State institutions, to the end that there will be uniformity in classification and titles, definitions of duties of positions, and schedules of wages. Many confer- ences of the director of the Commission and superintendents of State institutions were held with the Supervisor of Adminis- tration and his assistants. WAR WORK COMMITTEE. Because of the demand for physicians experienced in the care of nervous and mental diseases, brought about by reason of the war, arid the possibility of the State service being able to render assistance to the government, especially in matters of personnel, there was formed the Massachusetts Committee for War Work in Neurology and Psychiatry, with the following membership: Dr. George M. Kline, chairman; Dr. Walter E. Fernald; Dr. Elisha H. Cohoon; Dr. John A. Houston, treas- urer; Dr.

    ALERT #24 ___________________ October 5, 2007 EMERGENCY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAMS AND HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS FOR MBHP MEMBERS AND UNINSURED CONSUMERS The following information should be communicated immediately to other appropriate staff in your organization. The Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) is the company that manages behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) services for MassHealth’s Primary Care Clinician (PCC) Plan Members*. Additionally, MBHP is contracted with the Department of Mental Health to manage most of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) across the Commonwealth. In that role, MBHP is issuing this Alert to hospital Emergency Departments (EDs), MBHP network providers, and other interested stakeholders in order to provide clarification and guidance relative to the management of behavioral health emergencies in the ED setting. More specifically, this Alert delineates the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) and describes an individual’s progression through this system, with a goal of expediting his or her movement through the hospital ED and into acute behavioral health services, as medically necessary. ESPs function as a “safety net” for all citizens of the Commonwealth regardless of age, payer, or ability to pay. It is important to note that the policies and procedures in this Alert applies to those populations for whom the ESPs are contracted with MBHP to serve, which includes MBHP members, MassHealth (non-MCO enrolled) Members, uninsured consumers, and DMH consumers. However, it is also important to note that MassHealth also requires the four Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) contracted with MassHealth to utilize the ESP system for emergency behavioral health services for MassHealth MCO enrolled Members.

  • AN INVESTIGATION of the MENTAL HOSPITAL BUILDING TYPE Irvin J
    AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MENTAL HOSPITAL BUILDING TYPE Irvin J. Kohler August 1954 Submitted to the faculty of the Department of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in partial fulfillment of masterts thesis study, 1954. FOREWARD This study is concerned with the application of .the disciplines of architecture to the problems of the care and treatment of the mentally ill. I feel that there is sufficient justification to demand the re-thinking of build- ings housing the patient's treatment and living facilities to make them more in keeping with our standards of contem- porary achievements in both architecture and psychiatry. The limitations of such a study were: the study, itself; the personal limitations of the investigator; and the presentation. The gap between architecture and psy- chiatry is tremendous. Each is a field unto itself, but the two must be joined together if there is to be a satisfactory solution to the problems of the mental hospital building type. A great deal of time and research was necessary be- fore the writer could even begin to bridge this gap, due to professional differences in terminology, outlook, and ap- proach. The next limitation was my personal discomfort when I saw the patients illhoused, with very little in their en- vironment to help them retain their individuality and denied the right to facilities for a complete life because of build- ing deficiencies. The last limitation was that the presen- tation of such a study must necessarily be orderly and cata- logue in an organized way what a mental hospital is and needs. However, no such order is in existence in the actual build- ing, and unfortunately this presentation tends to leave the reader with the concept of order in the mental hospital.
