Outcomes Management

The Clinical Outcomes Management Protocol was developed in response to the growing need for increased accountability and quality in the behavioral health field. In this initiative, network providers will practice outcomes measurement and management. Outcomes management refers to the use of this data to inform and improve clinical care and programming.

This initiative was developed with the support of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), the Department of Mental Health, and the MassHealth Behavioral Health Programs Unit, as well as with extensive input from provider associations, professional associations, and consumer advocates.
