Behavioral health quality improvement increasingly depends on addressing both data gaps and the referral process that connects patients to effective care. This session brings together a scalable behavioral health supplemental data framework with outcomes informed referral strategies to show how standardized data capture, validation, and patient reported outcomes can strengthen follow up, access, and performance. Speakers will discuss how interoperable behavioral health data and referral effectiveness can support HEDIS, ECDS, and value based care goals while reducing administrative burden for plans and providers. Attendees will gain practical insights into moving beyond measure specific fixes toward system level solutions that improve behavioral health integration, treatment engagement, and measurable outcomes.
