ContinuumCloud recently hosted a webinar in partnership with OPEN MINDS to explore tech solutions for CCBHCs and wannabes. CCBHCs are a new model of whole-person care that has proven themselves to be highly successful. Behavioral health and human services organizations can apply for CCBHC status by meeting an extensive range of requirements. In this webinar, we review these requirements and explore some of the technology solutions that can help organizations manage these complex requirements.
Reviewing CCBHC Requirements
SAMHSA outlines in detail the various requirements organizations must meet to achieve and maintain CCBHC status. These can be broken down into six categories:
- Staffing
- Accessibility
- Care Coordination
- Scope of Services
- Quality and Reporting
- Organizational Governance
While there’s a lot involved in each of these six requirements, from maintaining appropriate staffing levels to coordinating care across multiple programs and providers, organizations can better manage these requirements by following the behavioral health pillars of success.
Behavioral Health Pillars of Success
To create a framework for success – whether as a CCBHC or otherwise – organizations can adopt the following behavioral health pillars of success:
- Enhancing the employee experience
- Improving quality of care
- Achieving financial sustainability
These pillars start with employees as the foundation of the organization, followed by enhancements to care delivery that improve patient outcomes, which ultimately allows organizations to achieve financial sustainability to maintain ongoing success.
