The OPEN MINDS Behavioral Health System State Profiles provide a roadmap to navigating each state’s individual behavioral health system. These comprehensive research reports contain 70+ pages of compiled data, analysis, market maps, and stakeholder profiles on each state’s behavioral health system.
“In our current health care market, every state’s behavioral health system is unique. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act enabled states more freedom to develop their own health care policies and programs, and with the current uncertainty in federal policy, we expect to see continued divergences in how states manage their health care systems,” said OPEN MINDS Executive Vice President Sarah C. Threnhauser. “Helping our 180,000+ readers navigate these diverse systems is a priority for OPEN MINDS, which is why we’ve made our state-specific resources available to our Elite-level subscribers. These resources give organizations serving complex consumers all the tools they need to understand the intricacies of each state’s Medicaid system and to position their organization to succeed – no matter what changes the market throws their way.”
