Place-making practices refer to the ways in which people create and define physical spaces as meaningful and significant through their everyday activities and social interactions.[1] In Ethnography, the study of these practices is often referred to as ‘ethnography as place-making,’ which involves the exploration of the cultural meanings and practices that shape the physical and social environments in which people live. This can include examining how people create and maintain social boundaries, how they express their identities and values through the built environment,[2] and how they negotiate power and control over the spaces they inhabit.

The policy defines what an Institute for Mental Disorders is and and payment exclusions for those under medicaid (<21 or 22 y/o or >65 y/o).

I really don't know how to find this information. I can update this after asking you about it tomorrow.

This is a calfornia department of health document, therefore it appears to apply specifically to that states definition of an IMD.

It appears that is is an expanded version of the document created orginally in order to facilitate changes in the treatment of mental health and better define what an IMD needs and is.

It defines and provides provisions for Intitutes of Mental Disorders where public mental health would be addressed. It also allows for pay exclusion to those of certain ages, allowing for more treatment to those that may be more at-risk.

Vulnerable populations for mental health issues seem to be covered by pay exclusion. Those younger than 21 or 22 are included, which appear to be the most at-risk for mental illness.

I could barely find anything on this in particular. In general, there have been more and more support for a stronger mental health system in the United States and while this policy furthers development, some people believe that there is much more that is needed.

It defines where we would take psych transports. Otherwise it does not directly address first responders.

This policy was established in 1965 and set down protocols for the Medicaid program. The medicaid program provides funding for medical and health related services to people who have a limited income. This policy specifically denotes what defines an institution, determining whether or not an institution is IMD and other aspect such as ages, costs and the definition of IMD are also set forth. Ultimately proving to set parameters and expectancies to those people and institutions that find themselves operating within this policy or referencing it.
