Additionally, the number of episodes generated relative to the number of children in poverty in each service area yielded a statewide average poverty service reach rate of 9.2 per 1,000 children in poverty, with service area rates ranging from 4.4 (Southwestern) to 21.3 (Central). [...] The statewide rate for the percentage of children evaluated in an Emergency Department once or more in the six months prior to a current episode of care was 20.6%, slightly lower than 21.1% of the same quarter last fiscal year. [...] During the new hours, 43.2% of episodes requested a mobile response, 21.0% requested a deferred mobile response, and 35.8% requested a non-mobile response; in the traditional hours, 66.5% of episodes requested a mobile response, 23.5% requested a deferred mobile response, and 10.0% requested a non-mobile response. [...] Across open episodes of care with phone and face-to-face crisis response categories during the second quarter of FY2024, 100.0% of phone-only and 100.0% of face-to-face episodes remained open beyond the benchmarks (1 day for Phone Only, 5 days for Face-to-Face). [...] Despite the relative short time of service engagement, the Ohio Scales reflect the continued effectiveness of Mobile Crisis in defusing the immediate crisis and supporting the positive growth and success of youth.
