PROPOSAL FOR EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP) ,
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES, FOR THE CITY
OF FAYETTEVILLE
PROVIDED BY THE
UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS PSYCHOLOGICAL CLINIC
DESCRIPTION OF PROVIDER
The proposed provider is the Psychological Clinic of the University of
Arkansas Department of Psychology. This facility is located in Memorial Hall
on the University Fayetteville campus at the corners of Maple Street and Cam-
pus Drive. Reserved parking for Clinic clients is provided on Campus Drive
facilitating access. In addition, the Clinic is handicapped accessible.
The Psychological Clinic is situated in renovated, modern facilities com-
plete with extensive video equipment for treatment and training, individual
consultation rooms, small and large group rooms, and a playroom for child
evaluation and treatment. All space is modern, comfortably furnished, and cas-
ual , except the main office, which is more formal in appearance.
The Psychological Clinic is the training facility of the Department of
Psychology's American Psychological Association approved clinical training
program (a national level certified program) . There are generally about twen-
ty-five graduate students in training at a particular time, and they are sup-
ervised by eight full-time, licensed, clinical psychologist, faculty members.
The faculty members' areas of expertise include adults, adolescents, and chil-
dren, and include problem orientations such as cognitive-behavioral , behavior
modification, interpersonal , and psychodynamic. Although some services are
provided directly by faculty members, the majority of services are provided by
faculty clinician/graduate clinician teams. Early in their training, graduate
students receive one-to-one supervision or greater, that is, one hour or more
of supervision for every hour of client direct contact. As graduate clinicians
become more advanced, the intensity of supervision is reduced appropriately.
Supervision is facilitated in most cases by the use of videotape. In some
instances clients object to this procedure; for the purposes of this EAP, such
objections will be honored, and the case will be assigned to an advanced grad-
uate clinician or a faculty clinician obviating the need for the videotape
procedure.
The Psychological Clinic is a training facility. The Clinic' s general
policy manual and handbook states, " . . . the Clinic's major function is that
of fulfilling training and service needs. The Psychological Clinic operates on
the premise that these needs are complementary, and our major goal is excel-
lence in the provision of both quality psychological services to Clinic clien-
tele, and a varied range of professionally relevant experiences to stu-
dents. . . " The Clinic' s experience is that its clients may occasionally find
their treatment plan developing a session slower because of the training
-2-
aspect of the Clinic. However, the very limited disadvantages of working with
a training facility are much outweighed by the very real advantages of small
case loads for clinical teams insuring clients of in-depth consideration, the
broad range of expertise available, and the ever renewed state of clinical
knowledge assuring that the Clinic remains at the forefront of developments in
the mental health field. The Clinic provides a full range of psychological
services including a 24 hour emergency/urgency call team. The Clinic also has
facilitated access to inpatient hospital services through its affiliation with
Ozark Guidance Center, which also provides accommodated psychiatric consulta-
tion. Other regular working relationships from which Clinic clientele poten-
tially benefit include Youth Bridge, a facility for troubled adolescents,
Washington County Headstart, and the various local courts.
PROVIDER EAP EXPERIENCE
As a part of its affiliate agreement with Ozark Guidance Center, The Psy-
chological Clinic has provided an employee assistance program to the Center' s
employees since January, 1974. Under this program all Ozark employees and
their immediate family members are eligible for psychological services,
including psychiatric consultation, through the Psychological Clinic either by
using their employee health insurance as sole payment or at no fee at the
employee' s option. The no-fee option has been provided to deal with some
employee concern about possible diminution of confidentiality through the
insurance claim processing at the Center. Indeed, Ozark employees are given
the option of referral by the Director of Clinical Services for the Center,
supervisor referral , or self-referral . When record sensitivity has been a con-
cern by the employee, the Clinic has provided especially secured record hand-
ling and other procedures, such as special peer review, to allay any fear that
personnel in the Clinic who also deal with the Center on a regular basis might
present a threat to confidence. In other words, the Clinic has done what is in
its power to accommodate Center employees so they may comfortably pursue the
psychological services to which they are entitled and welcome. Ozark Guidance
Center has handled internal marketing of the program itself, though the Clinic
would become involved if that were seen as desirable. To date, it has not.
Records exist in the Psychological Clinic regarding Ozark Guidance Center
employee and family use of the employee assistance program. However, these
records are currently caught in a change of data handling procedures that
makes access by computer impossible and manual access not cost-effective. The
Psychological Clinic has received many informal expressions of thanks from
Center employee-clients. The Clinic has never received a formal or informal
complaint about services or the program per se from individuals or administra-
tion. Concerns about record handling and other matters of confidentiality have
occurred, especially early when there was no grapevine track record to which
employees could turn. The Clinical Director at the Ozark Guidance Center can
be contacted for information regarding the Center' s experience with this EAP.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF SERVICE
Case Finding and Referral .
Generally, employees and their families will be informed of the existence
of the EAP and the nature of the services available through various avenues
(see later section captioned "Internal Marketing Plan") . Subsequent to these
various case finding activities, employees and their families will be poten-
tially self-referred, supervisor referred, co-worker referred, etc. The Psy-
chological Clinic will accept self and/or family referral , physician referral ,
and supervisor referral ; the latter only as necessary. Co-worker referrals
will not be accepted under most circumstances, because generally such actions
are counterproductive in regard to confidence and are open to abuse. In all
instances it is highly desirable from a clinical point of view that referrals
be self-referrals whenever possible. However, there are cases in which physi-
cian, supervisor or spouse referral make it easier for the troubled individual
to enter the intervention system. Also, there are clearly times when others,
such as supervisors or family members, may require professional assistance to
arrange services for the resistant troubled person or the person unable to act
in the interest of their own welfare.
Clinic Contact and Intake.
Contact with the Psychological Clinic will be initiated by telephone and
will be encouraged to occur during regular working hours. At times of emer-
gency/urgency, contact will occur by phone with the on-call team. Emer-
gency/urgency management is only within the purview of the clinical team pro-
viding the service. More usual requests for service will result in some brief
data gathering and information provision. An appointment for an intake inter-
view will be given. Requests received during the working week will be sche-
duled for intake interview to occur in less than 24 hours. Requests received
on weekends will be scheduled for the intake interview to occur in less than
48 hours. The intake interview will consist of structured activities involving
providing the troubled individual or family with initial information about the
Clinic, about clinical services, and the goals of the intake. These goals will
include being able to arrive at a preliminary understanding of the client's
problem to facilitate disposition planning and to begin to relieve client
indisposition. To these ends, about 50 minutes will be required for individual
contacts and about 90 minutes for couples and families. During the intake
procedure the client will be introduced to various consent forms including
those dealing with permission for intervention, conditions of and exceptions
to confidentiality, etc. Intake will be followed by a Clinic staffing proce-
dure which will result in a disposition, that is, assignment for further diag-
nostic work, assignment for treatment, etc. The staffing procedure consists of
the intake clinician presenting the information obtained in the intake inter-
view to a group of clinicians for discussion, further refinement of under-
standing of the troubled employee and the problem, provisional diagnosis, and
development of a suggested intervention method. The case is then assigned to a
treatment team based on the team' s perceived expertise to deal with the indi-
vidual and the problem. An appointment for the first intervention session will
be offered to the troubled employee within no more than 48 hours and usually
within 24 hours, constrained largely by the occurrence of weekends and by the
availability of the employee for telephone contact and the actual appointment.
-4-
The Clinic provides appointment times both during the daytime and several eve-
nings a week to facilitate appointments while minimizing the need for the
employee to miss work activity.
Assessment Intervention.
When the problem presented by the employee and/or family involves a
request for diagnostic or assessment information (for example, is it the
child' s problem or the family's or the school ' s problem?, is it depression or
a physical disorder?, etc. ) , or when the problem needs further clarification
beyond the intake information, the client(s) will be assigned to an assessment
or diagnostic modality. Some of the more frequently encountered diagnostic
modalities in the Clinic include child diagnosis (is the child developmentally
delayed?) , family diagnosis (is the child' s poor school performance the result
of all the conflict in the family?) , school assessment (why does the child not
read at grade level?) , neuropsychological diagnosis (what is the nature and
extent of the intellectual deficit secondary to the brain injury from that
accident?) , long-term treatment assessment (the diagnosis warrants long-term
treatment; can the person profit from such a course?) , second opinion assess-
ment (is the school right that the child needs to be removed from the regular
classroom?) , marital assessment (why is this marriage not working and what can
be done?) , and clinical diagnosis (is this an anxiety reaction or something
more serious?) .
Treatment Intervention.
After appropriate assessment activities and when treatment is indicated,
or when the problem is understood at intake and treatment is recommended, the
employee-client and or family member(s) will be assigned to a treatment modal-
ity in keeping with the understanding of their problem and its best treatment.
Treatment intervention modalities frequently encountered in the Psychological
Clinic include crisis intervention to help people cope with unusually intense
stressor situations such as multiple losses of important people, the experi-
ence of rape or assault, civilian disaster, etc. A number of types of individ-
ual therapy are regularly employed based on the personality of the troubled
person, the nature of the current problem, and the estimated cost-
effectiveness of the different possible interventions. As with the modalities
described above, these modalities or procedures are not necessarily mutually
exclusive. Some individual treatment procedures include: short-term psycho-
therapy (the personality of the client and the nature of the problem are such
that help with development of additional specific coping skills will alleviate
the situation and/or distress in a short period without trying to influence
the person' s personality per se to any great extent) , behavioral (the person
is taught to relax) , bio-feedback (the person is taught to relax using feed-
back concerning the physiological state of their muscles, they are taught to
use relaxation and other procedures to control migraine headaches) , expressive
or psychodynamic psychotherapy (the person is helped to deal with emotional
traumata of the historical past which contribute to present interpersonal
problems and/or symptomatology) , and hypnosis (the person is taught this skill
to control or eliminate problems, especially those not under conscious con-
trol ) . Individual psychotherapies are usually provided on an outpatient basis.
They can be and are also provided on an inpatient basis. The Psychological
Clinic' s use of hospital facilities is judicious. The Clinic minimizes the
-5-
number of hospitalizations and the length of those that do occur, but the
Clinic also recognizes that hospitalization may be the procedure of choice for
all involved in some instances. It is, then, the Clinic's goal to make the
hospital stay as productive as possible, that is, seeing that things change
with the hospitalized client in an active way and that problems are also being
ameliorated in the environment that the client will return to. This is in con-
trast to using the hospital for simple restraint or protection.
Conjoint modalities of treatment are used at the Psychological Clinic.
These are treatment modalities that focus on problems of an interpersonal
nature and deal with those problems through interpersonal strategies includ-
ing, but not limited to, communication analysis and restructuring. The most
frequent of these modalities include marital , family, and group psychotherapy.
Group therapy involves people with interpersonal problems in a group process
with others with similar problems, and who often have a dearth of people
available to them with whom they can learn to solve their problems and modify
their unproductive interpersonal styles.
Skills groups are often available through the Psychological Clinic. These
are group processes focused on specific problem areas that are common in cur-
rent industrial , dehumanized society. It is assumed that people benefit from
these procedures for a number of reasons including finding that they are not
alone in their experience of problems of a particular nature, sharing experi-
ence to learn from it, and being provided information that group discussion
helps them to understand and integrate into their lives. Those skills groups
that can be offered in the Clinic include, but are not limited to, the follow-
ing: stress management, interpersonal communication skills, assertiveness,
anger/hostility management, and parent effectiveness. Though third parties
often do not reimburse for these services, they will be provided to individu-
als and their family members covered by this EAP free of charge (not including
minor expenses for the cost of materials that become the property of the
client) .
Informed Consent and Intervention Planning.
As early in the intervention process as possible, all EAP clients will
participate in a formal informed consent procedure. When psychological assess-
ment occurs, the informed consent procedure will be a part of the interpretive
interview with the client(s) . When formal assessment has not been necessary,
the informed consent will occur as a part of the required treatment planning
process. The informed consent will consist of the clinical team sharing with
the client, or responsible adult when a minor is involved, information that is
imperative to the client(s) for making an informed decision about further par-
ticipation. The informed consent will include a written document discussed
with the client, or the client' s representative, to the client's satisfaction
and providing the client with the following information:
1. A statement of the nature of the client' s problem, including person-
ality function when appropriate, as understood by the clinical team.
2. A statement and explanation of the recommended intervention.
3. A statement and explanation of other possible but not recommended
interventions and the reasons to prefer that which was recommended.
-6-
4. Reasonably expectable outcomes of the recommended intervention.
5. Possible negative concomitants (side-effects) of the recommended
intervention.
6. Costs to the patient in terms of time, energy, discomfort, and money.
This informed consent will be signed by the client and the clinical team
and will be renewed if and when substantial changes in the understanding of
the client and the client' s problems dictate.
Intervention planning is a further informed consent procedure that will
occur with EAP clients that provides the client with more detail of the pro-
cesses to be experienced than does the general procedure and provides the
basis for regular review of progress toward goals, changes in goals as the
intervention proceeds, etc. Intervention planning at the formal level also
provides the informational vehicle for quality assurance/peer review without
unduly compromising the client' s right to privacy. The concepts of quality
assurance and peer review will be presented in the next section.
Intervention planning proceeds differently for diagnostic or assessment
planning as compared to treatment planning. For diagnostic planning, the
intervention plan is to be formally dealt with no later than the end of the
second session. It provides the client with the reason for assessment, the
planned evaluation procedures, and the expected number of sessions and prob-
able cost of the assessment plan. The client and the clinical team sign this
plan (see Attachment A for a copy of the form used) .
Treatment intervention planning occurs no later than the third treatment
session. It provides the client with a further description of the presenting
problem as understood by the clinical team, a description of the treatment
goals, a statement of the concrete goal attainment indicators (the means or
signs by which progress or its absence are to be recognized) , and a descrip-
tion of the treatment procedures to be used. The client indicates the degree
of concurrence with this plan and signs it. The clinical team also signs the
plan (see Attachment B for a copy of the form used) .
Further treatment planning via formal treatment reports occurs at the
loth, 24th, 40th, and 60th sessions and every 20th session beyond the 60th
(see Attachment C for a copy of the form used) .
Quality Assurance and Peer Review.
Quality assurance review consists of a system that documents the services
provided to clients, documents the evaluation of the quality of those ser-
vices, and contributes to quality itself by recognizing certain types of
clients who require special procedures. Quality assurance also aims at opti-
mizing utilization, and thereby maximizing general client well being, includ-
ing physical and mental health, while minimizing the cost to clients,
employers, and other third parties.
-7-
•
Quality assurance reviews occur in the Psychological Clinic in the fol-
lowing areas:
1. General quality and cost/utilization.
Cases are reviewed at regular stipulated intervals to see that the
treatment goals are being met, and that more recent goals and treat-
ment procedures are appropriate and congruent. Issues of the need for
treatment, informed consent and ethics are also evaluated.
2. Lethality.
When clients are perceived to be dangerous to themselves and/or._ oth-
ers, special review conditions pertain to lessen the probability of
lethality, to aid the primary treatment team, and to provide safety
for everyone with the least amount of restriction of the client' s
freedom and rights.
3. Dysfunctionality.
When a client' s ability to function in any of the areas of personal
care, interpersonal relations, or vocation (school , work, household
duties, etc. ) are rated as decreasing, special review conditions per-
tain to minimize the loss of function, to aid the primary treatment
team, and to preserve the client's rights and integrity.
4. Personnel disagreement.
When clinical personnel seriously disagree about matters that will
possibly influence a client' s welfare and treatment outcome, this
means is provided to develop another point of view and judgement more
independent of the day-to-day involvement in the treatment.
5. Records.
As record keeping is a vital clinical and legal matter, all Clinic
records in active cases are reviewed according to specific profes-
sional standards once every two weeks, and action is taken to correct
any mistakes and/or deficiencies.
Quality assurance reviews in situations one through four above are car-
ried out at various levels, all of which involve both faculty and graduate
level clinicians, thus peer review. At each level of review, the reviewers
become more independent of the particular case under consideration and more
representative of the total scope of practice in the Psychological Clinic.
Records review is carried out by the Clinic's Assistant Administrator in con-
sultation with the Clinic Director.
The above briefly described quality assurance system maximizes the bene-
fits of review to everyone, including third parties, while minimizing the
threat to the integrity of the treatment found in other review procedures cur-
rently in use in the mental health/insurance industry.
-B-
OTHER EAP BENEFITS - NONREIMBURSABLE SERVICES -
In the interest of enhancing the benefits of this EAP to both the pro-
vider and the subscriber, all psychological services deemed necessary and/or
relevant in the sole judgement of the Psychological Clinic, that are within
its capabilities to deliver, and that are nonreimbursable by the involved
third party, will be provided to the employee participants of the City of
Fayetteville on a no-fee basis. Examples of these services might include:
1. Skills groups
2. Preventive education
3. Legal opinions and testimony
4. School visits
INTERNAL MARKETING PLAN
The Psychological Clinic's internal marketing activities will be of five
types:
1. One oral presentation per quarter to the City of Fayetteville's
administrators, supervisors, or other employees, or a combination of
these, covering the nature of the EAP, access to it, indications for
use, etc.
2. One oral presentation per quarter to City of Fayetteville employees
or subgroup of employees to be designated by the contractee of mate-
rial related to common mental health problems like depression and
suicide, reducing work stress, etc. The specific topics will be
arrived at in consultation with City of Fayetteville administration.
The presentations will be supplemented with information about the
EAP, how to use it for the problem under consideration and in gen-
eral , what an employee with that particular problem would encounter
in seeking and getting help through the EAP, etc.
3. One mailing every six months to the employees' homes of a brochure
describing the EAP.
4. One distribution every quarter to the employees in their pay enve-
lopes, or by other means, of a brochure on a mental health topic of
general interest and information on the EAP.
5. Availability of the Director of the Psychological Clinic on a conti-
nuing basis to City of Fayetteville personnel to facilitate referral ,
problem solve, case find, and generally consult about any matter
relevant to the EAP.
ETHICAL STANDARDS
The Psychological Clinic functions in accordance with the American Psy-
chological Association' s Ethical Standards of Psychologists, the Standards for
-9-
Providers of Psychological Services, and Act 129 of the Statutes of the State
of Arkansas (the licensure act for psychologists) . Though confidentiality is
only one of the ethical standards, it is recognized as the cornerstone of pro-
fessional work and the clinical delivery of services; it is assured.
COSTS STATEMENT
Psychological services will be delivered by the University of Arkansas
Psychological Clinic under this contract for an EAP rate of $55.00 per service
unit (approximately 50 minutes of client contact or the equivalent) . Of this
amount, the City of Fayetteville will pay the Clinic $25.00 per service unit
up to and including $3200.00 for the contract period maximum, and regardless
of the cost of further service units, and regardless of the Blue Cross/Blue
Shield (BC/BS) deductible paid by the employee per the Blue Cross/Blue Shield
(BC/BS) contract for the City of Fayetteville. After the employee paid deduc-
tible, BC/BS will pay the Psychological Clinic 50% of the service unit charge
per service unit for reimbursable services per the BC/BS contact for the City
of Fayetteville up to a maximum of $4000.00 per employee for the contract
period and not including the deductible. Services provided by the Psychologi-
cal Clinic beyond these specific cost reimbursement limits will be without
charge to the employee or members of the employee' s immediate family. These
rates will not be subject to change during the contract period. -
The costs of the Internal Marketing Plan described above shall be treated
as indirect services, the expense of which is subsumed under the direct ser-
vices costs described, i .e. , there will be no direct cost to the City of
Fayetteville for these services.
The cost statements made here apply only to those services supplied
directly by the University of Arkansas Psychological Clinic and in no way rep-
resent the services or costs incurred through its affiliates.
PROGRAM EVALUATION
Quarterly and yearly reports will be submitted to the City of Fayette-
ville, the nature of which will be jointly decided by the Psychological Clinic
and the City of Fayetteville. The purpose of the reports will be to measure
the effectiveness of the program, and it will consist of numbers for statisti-
cal purposes or other abstract statements in keeping with program effective-
ness evaluation. Under no circumstances shall any of the data or statements in
any way compromise the employee-client' s confidentiality.
-10-

"'9syiy� �+ i CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS�ONtO�= REQUEST FOR PROFESSIONAL PROPOSALS
EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
'ISSUED: 3-20-87
The City of Fayetteville Purchasing Office will accept sealed
•� professional proposals from licensed Arkansas health professionals
qualified in the field of industrial psychology or psychiatry for the
purpose of perfecting an Employee Assistance Program for the City of
Fayetteville. The structure of the program and guidelines for
submission of a proposal may be obtained at the Purchasing Office at
113 West Mountain Street, Second Floor, City Administration Building.
All bid proposals are due no later than 10:00 A.M. on April 7, 1987.
at the City Purchasing Office. Any proposal received after the date
and time set for receiving proposals will not be considered. Any
questions regarding the format and content of the proposal should be
directed to Jeanette Crumpler, Personnel Director, 113 W. Mountain,
Fayetteville, AR 72701, or call 575-8279. . Only proposals will be
accepted from persons who have satisfactorily completed a course of
study in Psychiatry and/or Psychology. Persons submitting proposals
shall be appropriately licensed to practice in the State of Arkansas.
Whether the proposal is submitted by a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist,
the City would like for the person submitting the proposal to be the
person who signs the proposals in their own handw-riting and submit with
the proposal, a list of clients whom they have served in the Employee
Assistance Program area in the past three years. We are especially
interested in looking into proposals that have been set up for other
