New York City Developing Performance Measures For Intensive Mobile Treatment Teams For People With SMI

The measures are intended to promote improvement and overall quality of care to address gaps noted by the New York City Comptroller in a report released in February 2024. The review was based on IMT enrollment data for 602 participants admitted to the program from its inception in 2016 through March 3, 2023. The DOHMH recently expanded IMT capacity to serve 972 individuals . . .
