BHO SUD 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 SUD Readmission dataset describes the rate of readmission for substance use disorder inpatient detoxification or chemical dependence inpatient rehabilitation within either 30 or 45 days of the last inpatient substance use disorder discharge for all discharges identified from paid fee-for-service Medicaid claims.
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向管理式护理的过渡。该指标体系着重于提高出院后及时跟进治疗的比例、出院后及时填充合适的药物处方，以及降低再入院率。BHO SUD 再入院数据集描述了所有从付费的按服务收费的医疗补助索赔中识别出的出院病例，在最后一次住院物质使用障碍出院后的30天或45天内，对物质使用障碍住院脱毒或化学依赖住院康复的再入院率。2015年标志着行为健康组织（BHO）第一阶段工作的完成。新的行为健康管理式护理过渡第二阶段正在实施中。BHO 指标中的数据涵盖了2010年至2014年，以2010年为基线。在项目早期（2011-2012年），指标按季度和当年至今进行计算，而在后期（2013-2014年），纽约州心理健康办公室选择了半年和当年至今的汇总。
