In 2000, the Franklin County Board of County Commissioners engaged Weidner Inc., to help design and implement a fully integrated Managing For Results [MFR] initiative for all parts of county government. The intent of the MFR initiative was to help county government operate more like private industry by focusing on results for customers.
ADAMH’s Managing For Results system is designed to ensure that public resources are being used in the most efficient and effective manner to serve as many consumers as possible with quality alcohol/drug and mental health treatment and prevention services. A key part of ADAMH’S MFR system is the companion ‘Stat’ systems that together make up ADAMH’s performance accountability & quality improvement system. The ‘Stat’ system used by ADAMH is based on the Citi Stat model out of Baltimore, Maryland. Upon his election in 2000, Mayor O’Malley [now Governor O’Malley] began running the entire city based on the highly successful Comp Stat model that turned around New York City’s crime rate by tackling crime problems precinct by precinct.
