CCBHC is the treatment model of the future for organizations with behavioral health and substance-abuse programs. Progressive, value-based and integrated, this care model commits to serve the most seriously ill individuals with open access to care and a “no one is turned away” policy.
With SAMHSA’s new $200 million CCBHC expansion grant, agencies who have considered becoming CCBHCs now are deciding whether to come off the sidelines — which creates questions around how to prepare their people, their processes and their technology.
This is Part One in our webinars series with current CCBHC providers sharing their hands-on experience and lessons learned from their CCBHC journey.
Who should watch this:
Executive Teams and Professionals in Quality Improvement, Compliance, System Administration, Reporting and Analytics, Case Management, Human Resources and Clinical areas — all will benefit.
We share things to consider when applying to be a CCBHC, such as:
- How to determine if you need to expand services or building new programs
- Retraining and growing your teams – Onboarding new professional types
- Restructuring your hours and staffing for greater access to care
- Building relationships for Care Coordination
