SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) recently
published Building Practice Improvement Collaboratives: Eleven
Case Studies. The 104-page monograph covers 11 case studies
of CSAT's Practice Improvement Collaboratives (PIC) program.
The PIC program was designed to help improve substance abuse treatment
by expanding the adoption of evidence-based practices through the
collaborative efforts of providers, researchers, and policymakers.
(See SAMHSA
News, Volume XI, Number 4.) In the 11 case studies presented
in the monograph, PIC participants describe their activities and
accomplishments, challenges, and lessons learned during the 12-month
developmental phase of the program.

This CSAT report, Medicaid Managed Behavioral Health Care Benchmarking
Project (61 pages), builds on performance measure efforts of
SAMHSA, the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program, the National
Committee for Quality Assurance, Health Plan Employer Data and Information
Set, and the Washington Circle Group. The project identified the
important differences in measures for organization, financing, and
target populations for Medicaid waiver programs. Seventeen states,
five counties, and the District of Columbia participated in the
project. All have Medicaid managed care programs that include behavioral
health services.
