9 Pilots Launched to Test Behavioral Health Data Standards Implementation
9 Pilots to Test Behavioral Health Data Standard Implementation -
Nine pilots are being conducted to test the implementation of a behavioral health data standard.
Summary
The US has launched nine pilot programs nationwide as part of the federal BHIT Initiative. These pilots will test USCDI+BH data elements in real-world settings, aiming to strengthen integrated behavioral and physical care and inform future standards.
Key Players
Details
As part of the Behavioral Health Information Technology (BHIT) Initiative, the US is launching pilot programs across nine states. The goal is to improve data exchange and strengthen the integration of behavioral and physical health care. The pilots involve 45 exchange partners across locations including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C. They will test the "USCDI+ Behavioral Health (USCDI+ BH)" dataset and the "FHIR Behavioral Health Profiles Implementation Guide (BH IG)". Examples include the MyCarePlanner project in Oregon, which enables patient-driven sharing of USCDI+BH data to improve care plan accuracy. Another effort in Colorado involves seven behavioral health providers exchanging targeted data elements through a centralized HIE hub. This initiative addresses interoperability, privacy, consent, and 42 C.F.R. Part 2 requirements. The lessons learned will refine the USCDI+ BH dataset and guide the development of the Behavioral Health Information Resource (slated for 2027), marking a critical step toward breaking down barriers in behavioral health data exchange.
