Lake County is planning to implement a Central Receiving System (CRS) Model. This system aims to create a single point of access for individuals and families experiencing a crisis, ensuring they are directed to the appropriate service provider without delay. The CRS will link various service providers, including triage centers and detoxification facilities, through data sharing and formal referral agreements to improve care coordination and case management. This initiative is currently under review. The project involves establishing a network of service providers and developing protocols for data sharing and referrals, which could lead to needs for administrative support, IT services for data linkage, and potentially specialized facility development or upgrades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the system's requirements as plans develop, as this could create opportunities for various professional services and administrative support roles before formal bids and contracts are established.
