does behavioral health use core measures
The six NQS goals are: evidence-based practices, person-centered care, coordinated care, healthy living for communities, reduction of adverse events, and cost reductions. The impact of each of those goals will be tracked via a set of core behavioral health quality measures across three targets or domains. The targets are: payers (SAMHSA, other federal agency, state/county, or private payers); providers/practitioners; and general populations (individuals, families, and communities).
