Aim
Increase equitable access to skilled and coordinated care between outpatient specialty behavioral health* and the larger health system, including primary care, while decreasing barriers (e.g. stigma, availability of appropriate mental health providers etc.) to ensure an effective and timely response.
*Specialty Behavioral Health includes mental health, substance abuse, and developmental services that are delivered in specialty settings (outside of primary care).
Metrics
- Increase availability of behavioral health providers in marginalized areas of the region
- Develop a method to measure timeliness and engagement when referred from primary care to specialty behavioral health
- Standardize screening processes for appropriate levels of follow-up care across services

About Workgroups
