The LRSB Team
The LRSB clinical team is composed of carefully chosen individuals. To be a team member, the individual must: (a) be gainfully employed and providing hands-on leadership or direct clinical care; (b) have proven expertise in a specific clinical field (e.g. children, youth and adults; co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues; trauma-informed care; medicated assisted treatment; diagnosis using DSM-5 and ASAM Criteria; trained trainer in evidence-based clinical interventions, etc) and (c) meet the high standard established by LRSB.
LRSB provides continuous education to team members. Team members access valuable resources that your center, may not have direct access to or lack the internal staff to review.
About LRSB Group, LLC and the Founder
I am a teacher, trainer, strategist and team builder at the core of my heart. I would like to share my expertise with the next generation of leaders. I strongly believe that the behavioral healthcare redesign can work if the intent is well-understood and direct care providers are guided appropriately. Researched and evidence-based practices support the changes. Although I have done consulting work in the past, it was on May 13, 2019 that I officially formed the LRSB Group, LLC. LRSB stands for “Leadership Resources and Support Base”.
I have personally worked as a senior quality assurance and performance improvement director for 25 years. I have more than three decades of experience in using widely accepted and evidence-based QA&PI tools. I also held jobs at a university guidance center, manufacturing and service industry as a psychometrician, job analyst and strategist from my birth country prior to working in community behavior health setting in the USA.
Audits and Record Reviews – In reviewing literally thousands of clinical records for regulatory compliance, I have read good and regulatory compliant documentations. There were also records that created risks for agencies based on my knowledge of documentations that caused payback, legal issues and accreditation citations.
Staff Training and Development – I have seen interventions that produced great client engagement and clinical outcomes. I have studied how those service providers applied evidence-based practices and achieved above average productivity and treatment outcomes.
I have also seen interventions that failed to engage clients and resulted in high drop-out or no-show rate. I found patterns and common denominators in those cases also.
I have worked with centers that were placed on probationary or corrective action status and assisted them in overcoming regulatory challenges.
Training and staff development are important to a successful outcome. LRSB hopes to share our team’s expertise with you. Our team is ready to respond promptly and provide you with a gold-standard technical support.

How LRSB Came Into Existence
“In reviewing literally thousands of records for regulatory compliance, I have seen interventions and practices that produced great client engagement, following through with treatment plans and successfully achieving desired clinical outcomes.
I identified common denominators among those providers who accomplished the above and: (a) met or exceeded their productivity requirement; (b) passed documentation reviews for regulatory compliance; (c) had good utilization management practices; (d) completed documentations in a timely manner reflecting the quality of services provided; and (e) scored high in client and referral sources satisfaction surveys.
As a QA&PI Director, I began to capture these outstanding practices into easy to remember service rules and coined phrases to guide providers in staying on track.
It’s been my hope and dream to share these lessons with behavioral health leaders who want to adopt “Quality as a Business Strategy” in meeting the challenges of the current behavioral healthcare delivery system and achieving sound and responsible fiscal management”.
