Overview  PMHPs’ assignment  PMHPs’ results  Next steps 2

PMHP Assignment 1.In the most recent measurement period, if your study indicator rate improved, what do you attribute the improvement to? 2.In the most recent measurement period, if your study indicator rate declined, why do you think there was a decline? 3.Have you evaluated interventions? If so, what did you do to evaluate interventions? 3

Access Behavioral Health  Demonstrated improvement for the most recent measurement period  Peer Transition Liaison intervention is credited for increases in follow-up appointment attendance  However, many of the appointments that are being kept are not within 7 days of discharge  Encounter data shows member did not attend the first weekly group therapy appointment  In some instances, the follow-up appointment the member attended was not within the 7 day period 4
