Bill Summary
For legislation to promote high value and evidence-based behavioral health care. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
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 the practice of behavioral health providers in Massachusetts, examining adherence to evidence-based standards of care, quality and outcome measures, and patient access to appropriate discharge planning and transitions. The bill also amends existing law to require Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to develop guidelines for the delivery of evidence-based behavioral health services, such as 24/7 access to treatment and compliance with quality and outcome measures. The goal is to improve the availability of data, quality metrics, and the measurement of behavioral health quality and outcomes, ultimately leading to better quality and outcomes for patients.
