Utah Admin. Code R523-2-10 - Allocation of Hospital Pediatric Beds to Local Mental Health Authorities for Individuals Under the Age of 18
(1) The
formula established provides for allocation based on the percentage of the
state's population of persons under the age of 18 located within a LMHA service
area.
(2) Each LMHA shall be
allocated at least one pediatric bed.
(3) The formula to determine pediatric bed
allocation shall be based on:
(a) the most
recent available population estimates obtained from the Utah Department of
Health's Indicator Based Information System (IBIS) website;
(b) the total pediatric population figures
for the state; and
(c) the
pediatric population figures for each county.
(4) The total number of pediatric beds
available shall be multiplied by the county's percentage of the state's total
pediatric population. This will determine the number of allocated pediatric
beds for each county.
(5) Each
LMHA's service area for individual county numbers shall be added to determine
the total number of pediatric beds allocated to a LMHA's service area. This
fractional number shall be rounded to the nearest whole bed.
(6) Adjustments of pediatric beds shall be
applied, and become effective at the beginning of the new fiscal
year.
(7) Each LMHA shall be
notified of changes in pediatric bed allocations.
(8) The number of allocated pediatric beds
shall be reviewed, and adjusted as necessary or at least every three years as
required by statute.
(9) A LMHA may
sell or loan its allocation of pediatric beds to another LMHA.
