AI Summary
This bill aims to promote high-value and evidence-based behavioral health care. It requires the Health Policy Commission to conduct a study on the variation in behavioral health practices across the full continuum of care in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The study will analyze adherence to evidence-based standards, quality and outcome measures, and patient access to appropriate discharge planning and transitions. The bill also amends the requirements for certified Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to include the development of guidelines for the delivery of evidence-based behavioral health services, such as 24/7 access to treatment and compliance with quality and outcome measures.
