ABHW and its member companies use their behavioral health expertise to improve health care outcomes for individuals and families across the health care spectrum. Our vision is to advance a health care system that both embodies the six aims of the Institute of Medicine's Crossing the Quality Chasm Report (safety, patient-centeredness, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness and equity) as well as: · Recognizes the extensive impact behaviors have on a person's health, wellbeing, and functioning. · Acts to promote behavior that fosters wellness and healthy lifestyles. · Advances mental health and substance use treatment acknowledging its interrelationship across systems of care and with a person's total health. · Promotes active consumer participation. · Improves functional outcomes for individuals, organizations, and industries. |
