  • Health Services Research
  • Mental Health Policy
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Managed care organizations require benchmarks to assess service delivery.
  • Existing methods for evaluating mental health service utilization are varied.
  • Standardized guidelines are needed for consistent evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate guidelines for expected mental health service utilization.
  • To provide a benchmark for evaluating services in comprehensive mental health systems.
  • To compare population-based guidelines with actual service delivery data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of guidelines for average service use across 55 diagnostic groups.
  • Validation efforts including early testing of these guidelines.
