(1)The general assembly hereby finds that children and families often benefit from treatment and services that involve multiple agencies, divisions, units, and sections of departments at the state and county level.

(2)The general assembly further finds that the development of a uniform system of collaborative management is necessary for agencies at the state and county levels to effectively and efficiently collaborate to share resources or to manage and integrate the treatment and services provided to children and families who would benefit from multi-agency services.

(3)(a) The development of a more uniform system of collaborative management that includes the input, expertise, and active participation of parent advocacy or family advocacy organizations may reduce duplication

(1) The general assembly hereby finds
that children and families often benefit from treatment and services that involve
multiple agencies, divisions, units, and sections of departments at the state and
county level.

(2) The general assembly further finds that the development of a uniform
system of collaborative management is necessary for agencies at the state and
county levels to effectively and efficiently collaborate to share resources or to
manage and integrate the treatment and services provided to children and families
who would benefit from multi-agency services.

(3) (a) The development of a more uniform system of collaborative
management that includes the input, expertise, and active participation of parent
advocacy or family advocacy organizations may reduce duplication and eliminate
fragmentation of services; increase the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness
of services provided; encourage cost sharing among service providers; and
ultimately lead to better outcomes and cost-reduction for the services provided to
children and families in the state of Colorado.

(b) In addition, the general fund moneys saved through utilizing a
collaborative approach and consolidating various sources of agency funding will
allow for reinvestment of these moneys by the agencies participating in the
systems of collaborative management to provide appropriate support to children
and families who would benefit from collaborative management of treatment and
services.

(4) The general assembly therefore finds that because a collaborative
approach may lead to the provision of more appropriate and effective delivery of
services to children and families and may ultimately allow the agencies providing
treatment and services to provide appropriate services to children and families
within existing consolidated resources, it is in the best interests of the state of
Colorado to establish systems of collaborative management of multi-agency
services provided to children and families.
