SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Committee Name: Interdepartmental Serious Mental Illness
Coordinating Committee (subcommittee meetings).
The ISMICC created five Working Groups to support each of the five
focus areas in their 2017 report of recommendations. The Working Groups
consist of Federal and Non-federal Members who meet regularly outside
of regular ISMICC meetings. Working Groups focus on translating
recommendations into action by prioritizing efforts, developing short-
and long-term objectives, coordinating programs and policies,
identifying existing activities that could be updated or leveraged, and
evaluating the feasibility of specific federal initiatives and
programs. Working Groups report their findings and offer action-
oriented recommendations to the ISMICC. The ISMICC deliberates Working
Groups'
[[Page 60910]]
findings and may vote on recommendations. Appointed federal staff act
as Stewards for each of the Working Groups to support their operations
and report progress.
I. Background and Authority
The ISMICC was established on March 15, 2017, in accordance with
section 6031 of the 21st Century Cures Act, and the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app., as amended, to report to the Secretary,
Congress, and any other relevant federal department or agency on
advances in serious mental illness (SMI) and serious emotional
disturbance (SED), research related to the prevention of, diagnosis of,
intervention in, and treatment and recovery of SMIs, SEDs, and advances
in access to services and support for adults with SMI or children with
SED. In addition, the ISMICC will evaluate the effect federal programs
related to serious mental illness have on public health, including
public health outcomes such as (A) rates of suicide, suicide attempts,
incidence and prevalence of SMIs, SEDs, and substance use disorders,
overdose, overdose deaths, emergency hospitalizations, emergency room
boarding, preventable emergency room visits, interaction with the
criminal justice system, homelessness, and unemployment; (B) increased
rates of employment and enrollment in educational and vocational
programs; (C) quality of mental and substance use disorders treatment
services; or (D) any other criteria as may be determined by the
Secretary. Finally, the ISMICC will make specific recommendations for
actions that agencies can take to better coordinate the administration
of mental health services for adults with SMI or children with SED. Not
later than 1 (one) year after the date of enactment of the 21st Century
Cures Act, and 5 (five) years after such date of enactment, the ISMICC
