GETTYSBURG, PA. (October 13, 2024) —   OPEN MINDS and Otsuka America Pharmaceutical Inc. have just released Volume 3 of the Trends in Behavioral Health: A Reference Guide on the U.S. Behavioral Health Financing & Delivery System, 4rth Edition (The Trends Guide). Released in three volumes, The Trends Guide is packed with key behavioral health statistics, issues, insights, and emerging trends for strategy and planning.

Executive teams and policymakers have looked to The Trends Guide for data and insights to support initiatives aiming to enhance both performance and costs – a ‘must’ for risk-sharing organizations and agencies pursuing value-based contracts. Commenting on the value of the 3rd edition of The Trends Guide, a health plan executive stated, “The fact that the guidebook references credible published sources outside of the survey work they do is important and appreciated.”

Volume 3, Health Plan Population, Management & Innovation, reveals the results of a comprehensive national payer survey — offering a detailed view of how health plans are driving change and improving access and quality of care.  In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, staying informed is more crucial than ever. This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the latest trends, including the use of technology in enhancing care coordination, patient engagement, and addressing social determinants of health. It also sheds light on improving access to care for vulnerable populations and the increasing role of digital health solutions.

New this year, all three Volumes of The Trends Guide will be available in these formats:

  • Digital chart book downloadable as a PDF.
  • Online chart book featuring a landing page with individual charts downloadable as a PDF page or PPT slide.
  • Print version with multiple charts per page.

The Trends Guide is made available free of charge on OPEN MINDS by Otsuka America Pharmaceutical Inc. as a unique contribution to help set higher standards for behavioral health policy and practice driven by the health plan perspective.
