Systems planning for the 80s: the Nebraska Mental Health Desired Service System model.
In an effort to address the complex realities of mental health service delivery in the 1980s, a systems model for planning and policy making has been developed. The model, called "the Nebraska Mental Health Desired Service System," can serve as a template for future service delivery system design. The development of the model and issues attendant to it are presented. Application of the model to planning, fiscal management, system management, politics, human resources development, and services coordination is presented.
