State behavioral health systems are implementing comprehensive crisis systems, building on the new 3- digit 988 crisis call centers, with (1) Mobile Crisis Teams designed to meet clients in crisis and (2) Crisis Receiving and Stabilization facilities to immediately address crises and reduce the use of emergency rooms and jails.
Tracking the impact of a comprehensive crisis system requires states to implement new data and outcome systems to monitor the effectiveness of these services.
