Blended case management services are consumer lead and the consumer determines their own path of recovery by maximizing independence and self-sufficiency. The BCM staff utilizes an Environmental Matrix (EM) testing tool to evaluate the necessary level of service and the EM test will be updated at least every 6 months. In addition, the individual and family input and input from other health providers involved in the care; number of crisis contacts; current or anticipated stressors will be obtained during the BCM intake. An assigned BCM staff will work with the individual and families to access, link, coordinate and monitor needed services as well as provide support and encouragement.
