By focusing on the patient's total care, including their mind, body, and wellbeing, Oak Street Health ensures complete care for their patients.

Just reading through the abstract and I see too many issues with this supposed blueprint. It’s not a blueprint it’s enabling a failing system by keeping bad habits en toe. Focus needs to lead away from Social Work and onto Mental Health Counselors instead. Social Workers are too busy trying to be supervisors and are usually ill equipped to properly treat a range of symptoms. I would know, every social worker I’ve encountered has told me they weren’t trained in the modalities I needed for proper treatment and because of such I’ve done all my own therapy instead. If you all were really interested in being a “blueprint” you’d recognize your direction as further faulty and not actually anything special or new.

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
