BHO MH Readmission: 2010-2014

The Behavioral Health Organization (BHO) initiative oversees the transition to managed care for Medicaid recipients who receive mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) services in New York State. The metrics emphasize improving rates of timely follow-up treatment post discharge, timely filling of appropriate medication prescriptions post discharge, and reducing rates of readmission.The BHO MH Readmissions dataset is designed to assess the frequency with which individuals are admitted for another mental health hospitalization in any region within 30 or 90 days of discharge from a prior mental health inpatient stay, and the frequency with which individuals are admitted for another mental health hospitalization in the same region within 30 days of discharge from a prior mental health inpatient stay.
The year 2015 saw the conclusion of the first phase of the Behavioral Health Organization initiative
(BHO). A new Behavioral Health Managed Care Transition phase II is underway. The data contained in
the BHO metrics span 2010 to 2014, using the 2010 calendar year for a baseline. Earlier in the program
(2011‐2012) the metrics were calculated quarterly and on a year‐to‐date basis, later in (2013‐2014),
New York State Office of Mental Health opted for semi‐annual and year‐to‐date aggregations.

行为健康组织（BHO）倡议负责监督纽约州接受心理健康（MH）和物质使用障碍（SUD）服务的医疗补助受益人过渡到管理护理的过程。该指标体系强调提升出院后及时跟进治疗率、及时填充合适的药物处方率，以及降低再入院率。BHO心理健康再入院数据集旨在评估个体在出院后30天或90天内，在任何区域因再次接受心理健康住院治疗而被入院频率，以及个体在出院后30天内，在相同区域因再次接受心理健康住院治疗而被入院频率。2015年，行为健康组织（BHO）的第一阶段工作圆满结束。新的行为健康管理护理过渡阶段II正在实施中。BHO指标中的数据涵盖2010年至2014年，以2010年为基准年。在项目早期（2011-2012年），指标按季度和累计到当月计算，而在后期（2013-2014年），纽约州心理健康办公室选择了半年和累计到当月的汇总方式。
