title: Using strategy to promote knowledge utilization and change in community mental health systems.
abstract: The Washington community mental health system illustrates three examples of knowledge utilization: a long range strategy to improve the accountability of the service system and finances, the formulation and implementation of a strategy to expand minority services in provider agencies, and a process to expand the application of community support concepts for adults and children in local service systems. The management information system (MIS) implementation applies the Davis A VICTORY model.
