Directives specify “how best to meet” the service priorities established by the PC/PB.
Directives, developed by the PC/PB, generally address disparities in access and barriers to care in the jurisdiction. They specify steps to be taken by providers receiving RWHAP Part A funds, for example, having weekend and evening hours, having interpreters or peer navigators on staff, or testing new service models. Use this new tool from Planning CHATT to identify needs for directives, draft them, analyze their feasibility and costs, and facilitate PC/PB review and approval.
