With support from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation (Foundation), Manatt Health prepared a new issue brief providing an overview and implementation update on the Massachusetts Roadmap for Behavioral Health Reform (Roadmap). The issue brief describes the Roadmap’s vision, goals, and key components (a brief overview is below), provides a status update and timeline on implementation of the multi-year Roadmap, and describes how the Roadmap integrates with the Commonwealth's broader behavioral health and health care systems and builds on prior system reforms. The issue brief is informed by input from select Massachusetts stakeholders and a review of early implementation data.
On Wednesday, September 11, the authors will join the Foundation to provide an educational overview of the goals and components of the Roadmap and highlight key findings from the Roadmap issue brief. Click here to register for the webinar.
