BHO SUD Engagement in Care: 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 Engagement in Care dataset is designed to assess the frequency with which individuals discharged from inpatient detoxification or chemical dependence inpatient rehabilitation engage in lower level substance use disorder treatment services within 14 and 30 days of discharge. Engagement is defined as receiving two or more such services within 14 days of discharge and three or more lower level services within 30 days of discharge.
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）倡议负责监管纽约州接受心理健康（MH）和物质使用障碍（SUD）服务的医疗补助受助人向管理式护理的过渡。该数据集的指标侧重于提高出院后及时跟进治疗率、及时填写适当药物处方率，以及降低再入院率。BHO SUD 在护理参与度数据集旨在评估出院后 14 天和 30 天内，从住院脱毒或化学依赖住院康复机构出院的个人参与较低级别物质使用障碍治疗服务的频率。参与度定义为出院后 14 天内接受两项或更多此类服务，以及出院后 30 天内接受三项或更多较低级别的服务。
2015 年，行为健康组织（BHO）的第一阶段工作圆满结束。新的行为健康管理式护理过渡阶段 II 已启动。BHO 指标中的数据涵盖 2010 年至 2014 年，以 2010 年日历年为基线。在项目早期（2011-2012 年），指标按季度和累计至当年日期计算，而在后期（2013-2014 年），纽约州精神健康办公室选择了半年和累计至当年日期的汇总。
