The Coalition For Behavioral Health Extends OPEN MINDS Circle Market Intelligence Service Benefits To Members Of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Providers Of New York State
Gettysburg, Pa. (April 2, 2023)—The Coalition for Behavioral Health (The Coalition) in New York City is extending its OPEN MINDS Circle Market Intelligence Service benefits to members of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of New York State (ASAP).
In 2022, The Coalition negotiated an agreement with OPEN MINDS to extend the full benefits of the OPEN MINDS Circle Market Intelligence Service to all its provider organization members. Since that time, The Coalition and ASAP have announced a plan to merge. In this transition process, the leaders of The Coalition and ASAP, Amy Dorin, President & Chief Executive Officer for The Coalition, and John Coppola, Executive Director, ASAP & NYAASAP, have decided to extend those benefits to all ASAP members effective immediately.
With access to the OPEN MINDS Circle Market Intelligence Service, all team members of The Coalition and ASAP member organizations have unlimited use of the full range of market intelligence and management best practice resources. Some of these resources include:
- A full suite of market intelligence information – reporting on strategic news, statistical reports, state landscape profiles, databases of health plan and provider organizations, a database of government RFPs and winning proposals, and more
- Attendance at the OPEN MINDS executive development educational events – five annual OPEN MINDS executive institutes, six executive summits, and ten best practice seminars
- Enrollment in the OPEN MINDS Leadership & Management Certificate Program
- An annual virtual trends briefing for board members and/or the executive team by one of OPEN MINDS senior team members
- Access to the suite of OPEN MINDS organizational assessment tools – managed care readiness, value-based reimbursement competencies, financial strength assessment, and tech functionality assessments
- Private Quick Consult meetings with OPEN MINDS senior advisors – four quarterly web meetings and five in-person sessions at OPEN MINDS institutes
“Our team is thrilled to be a partner of The Coalition for Behavioral Health and Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of New York State. Our role is one of advisor on strategy and financial sustainability for the 250 member organizations – providing the tools needed for continued future success. Our mission is to strengthen the organizations serving some of the most vulnerable members of the population,” said OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer, Monica E. Oss.
“As we looked to provide industry resources to our members, we looked to OPEN MINDS as a leader in market intelligence, analysis, and education for executives in the health and human services industry,” said Amy Dorin, President & Chief Executive Officer for The Coalition for Behavioral Health. “This was an opportunity to connect our members with the resources they need to improve operations and care through up-to-date data and best practice strategies for the consumers in their care.”
“Mental health and substance use service providers are facing similar challenges, including inadequate funding and reimbursement, a workforce crisis, and the need to strengthen and expand existing services to meet community needs. We feel strongly that access to industry-specific market intelligence, best practices, and executive education will help guide our members through important strategic planning and decisionmaking,” said John Coppola, Executive Director, ASAP & NYAASAP. “Members will be able to make better-informed decisions and better support the people they serve with this new stream of information.”
