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),

行为健康组织（BHO）项目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者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、及时填充合适的药物处方，以及降低再入院率。BHO SUD连续护理数据集旨在评估个人在出院后14天或30天内，接受较低级别、较低强度的物质使用障碍或心理健康跟进服务的频率，这些服务是在住院脱毒治疗、化学依赖住院康复、住院脱毒或化学依赖住院康复出院后提供的。2015年，行为健康组织（BHO）项目的第一阶段圆满结束。新的行为健康管理式护理过渡第二阶段正在实施。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），指标是按季度和当年累计计算的，而在后期（2013-2014），纽约州心理健康办公室选择了半年和当年累计的汇总。
