行为健康组织（BHO）倡议负责监管纽约州接受心理健康（MH）及物质使用障碍（SUD）服务的医疗补助受益者向管理式医疗的转变。该数据集的指标侧重于提升出院后及时跟进治疗率、及时填充适当药物处方率，以及降低再入院率。BHO SUD连续护理数据集旨在评估个体在出院后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，这些服务包括住院脱毒治疗、化学依赖住院康复、住院脱毒治疗或化学依赖住院康复。2015年，行为健康组织（BHO）的第一阶段工作圆满结束。目前，新的行为健康管理式医疗转型第二阶段正在实施。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年），指标按季度和年度累计计算，而在后期（2013-2014年），纽约州精神健康办公室选择了半年度和年度累计汇总。
