New NRI State Profiles Report: State Mental Health Agency IT Systems and Pay for Performance

State Mental Health Agencies (SMHAs) are part of state government and are responsible for operating and funding services for adults with serious mental illnesses and children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances. SMHAs serve as a safety net, providing mental health services to the most vulnerable individuals. 

This report provides information about the IT systems of SMHAs; if they address MH only, or also include SUD or IDD services; SMHA use of "Pay for Performance" and outcome measurement; and behavioral health data visualizations being used by SMHAs.

Profiles reports are available at: www.nri-inc.org/profiles. State Mental Health Agency staff have access to detailed accompanying materials through the NRI’s State Profiles restricted access website. Please contact NRI at [email protected] with any questions or comments.
