As we approach Mental Health Awareness month in May, it's important to highlight the significance of taking care of the "whole" patient. Oak Street Health's DEI leader, Charniece D. Tisdale, emphasizes the value-based care that Oak Street Health provides to its patients. By focusing on the patient's total care, including their mind, body, and wellbeing, Oak Street Health ensures complete care for their patients. Let's continue to prioritize mental health and wellbeing in all aspects of healthcare. #MentalHealthAwareness #Healthcare #Wellbeing

𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 Freedman HealthCare has collaborated with several states to develop a comprehensive methodology for more standardized measurement and tracking of behavioral health utilization and spending. This Milbank Memorial Fund brief, developed by Vinayak Sinha, MPH, Emma Rourke, CSM, CSPO, and Mary Jo Condon, details how the methodology offers better comparability of behavioral health spend across states, improved regulatory compliance, more focused budgetary allocations, and more effective spending targets. Measuring service utilization and expenditures by service category enables states to better evaluate the impact of preventive programs in addressing patients’ conditions earlier, reducing the need for higher-intensity care. The approach simplifies data collection, aligns methodologies, and supports state decision-making and intentional investments, ultimately enhancing access to quality behavioral health care nationwide. #Behavioralhealth #Healthcarepolicy #Healthcarespending #Policyreform #Mentalhealthawareness Explore the insights from Freedman HealthCare's new report here: https://lnkd.in/gHezHyyx

April is National Minority Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the health disparities that continue to affect racial and ethnic minority populations. This year's theme, "Be the Source for Better Health: Improving Health Outcomes Through Our Cultures, Communities, and Connections," emphasizes the importance of understanding the social drivers of health (SDOH) that uniquely influence these communities' health experiences. SDOH factors like access to quality healthcare, education, and healthy living environments can significantly impact overall well-being. By creating a more inclusive healthcare environment, we empower individuals and communities to make informed health decisions and achieve better health outcomes.
