This study reports on the analysis of several existing administrative data sets to examine issues related to the continuity of care in the community for persons discharged from the Florida state mental health hospitals.

Thus, the conclusions of this report need to be taken somewhat tentatively.

This serves as the Executive Summary of the report of the Children's Workgroup.

Today, social service administrators are examining client service utilization using cross system analysis, because often a client's needs require accessing governmentfunded services from multiple organizations.
