comments re RM Guidance Doc
 

We agree with previous comments.

In addition, please allow for qualifications of the Risk Manager to include relevant or equivalent experience and not be based solely on DBHDS training; and we would suggest broadening allowable sources of training.  We would like to know how each Risk Manager's qualifications and training will be reviewed/approved.

This position and its increasing responsibilities are good practice overall, but is another significant unfunded requirement, that is not covered by reimbursement rates or state funding.
