BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, September 20, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Actionable results in record time to support critical substance abuse treatment services— Kris Vilamaa
The Mostly Medicaid government advisory team was pleased to partner with DMI (Digital Management, LLC) on a feasibility study for the Maryland Department of Health's Behavioral Health Administration. The Mostly Medicaid work was focused on preparation for a new mental health and substance use disorder bed registry and referral system.
The project was a key part of an initiative to improve behavioral health service delivery in Maryland. Under House Bill 1121, the legislature mandated a bed registry and referral system. The system must provide a searchable inventory of providers and an electronic referral system for private and public mental health and substance use disorder services.
The results of the Mostly Medicaid study were presented in the HGO Committee session on September 15th. You can check out the committee meeting recording here- https://bit.ly/3tSZ9ov
Part of the value of leveraging Mostly Medicaid for government advisory services comes from the combination of the firm's in depth expertise in a range of areas. In this example, the Mostly Medicaid team also delivered actionable results in less than three weeks.

Key lessons learned

The technology is not the most complicated aspect of this work. The effort to engage the range of partners needed for a successful system implementation will be significant. Ensuring that the system is integrated into existing clinical workflows will also be a key aspect of a successful implementation.
