DETAILS:

Teresa Claycamp of the Washington Healthcare Authority and Alice Lind of the Dept. of Social and Health Services will review the measures described within the Behavioral Health Performance Measure Report that was initiated last year and how its findings will be utilized on an ongoing basis to monitor performance and inform HCA’s work.

In March 2021, the Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) contracted with Comagine Health to conduct a study analyzing performance measure variation across the state’s managed care organizations (MCOs), Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs) and regional system partners.  The study focused on establishing a baseline understanding why certain performance measures are performing better or worse and understand why performance has changed over time.  HCA’s ultimate goal for the study is to help inform and target quality improvement activities across regions and payors, including measures related to high-profile care coordination needs between physical health and behavioral health providers.

This report presents the results of this study, including background, methodology, study results organized by key themes identified in the surveys and interviews, and Comagine Health’s conclusions and recommendations.
