Description: As New York State makes the shift to value-based payment, new formations and methods of leveraging data are essential for behavioral health providers and organizations. Integrity Partners for Behavioral Health (IPBH) is a Behavioral Healthcare Collaborative (BHCC) and Independent Practice Association (IPA) developed in the context of this shifting terrain to improve outcomes for individuals in rural communities across 14 counties.

Additionally, we’ll discuss the academic-community partnership, including the benefits and uses of a data warehouse for clinicians and organizational leaders.
