Purpose: In 2021, the Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill 2086, which established the Behavioral Health Committee of the Oregon Health Policy Board. The committee assists in establishing quality metrics for behavioral health services provided by coordinated care organizations, health care providers, counties, and other government entities; and establish incentives to improve the quality of behavioral health services. As directed by House Bill 2086, the quality metrics and incentives shall be designed to:
- Improve the integration of physical and behavioral health care
- Improve timely access to behavioral health care
- Ensure individuals are supported in the least restrictive environment that meets their behavioral health needs
- Reduce hospitalizations, and
- Reduce overdoses.
The Behavioral Health Committee will prioritize and lead work of the committee to advance health equity in Oregon’s behavioral health system. It will center those with lived experience, community members impacted by health inequities and disparities, and members of the community with behavioral health care needs.
