Behavioral Health HIT Workgroup
In 2017, the Office of Health Information Technology conducted a Behavioral Health HIT Scan to gain a better understanding of the HIT/HIE landscape among behavioral health organizations, including their adoption and use of electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchange (HIE). In 2018, HITOC chartered the Behavioral Health HIT Workgroup to prioritize the recommendations identified in the Behavioral Health HIT Scan report.
OHA staff and Workgroup members presented its work to HITOC in December 2018. The Workgroup’s Report supports OHA’s current efforts and provides additional recommended actions. The work informs HITOC about the behavioral health system’s ongoing foundational needs. The Workgroup will continue meeting in 2019 to further develop its recommendations and inform OHA’s HIT/HIE efforts impacting behavioral health.
