NYAPRS Note:  Join NYAPRS now and be a part of the first MRLC Webinar of 2014, Identifying, Collecting and Using Data for Improved Service Delivery, January 22, 2014. As New York's Behavioral Health System transitions to managed care we are being confronted with multiple challenges including the ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of the services that we provide. We will all have to learn to use data in our EHR's, and use clinical, administrative, and financial data to make decisions. This presentation will address the types of data that will need to be collected in our transformed system, and how that data can be used to improve practice, demonstrate effectiveness to payers, and make sound business decisions. January 1 marks one year and counting till we transition to fully capitated managed care for all our adult services. In this new environment, data is key!

Join Dr. Andy Cleek, and Dr. Micaela Mercado, McSilver- Urban Institute for Behavioral Health as they presents and lead a discussion about this important topic. The MRLC is a special NYAPRS MEMBERS ONLY benefit. .
