Behavioral Health Technical Assistance and Resources

Technical assistance and supports for CCO 2.0 requirements

The 2020-24 CCO contracts contain a variety of new and updated requirements regarding behavioral health integration, including a focus on children’s behavioral health. The Transformation Center worked with subject matter experts to provide supports to CCOs in meeting these requirements. 

Behavioral Health HIT Learning Collaborative 

On September 1, 2020, OHA sponsored a virtual Behavioral Health Learning Collaborative to assist behavioral health organizations with their adoption or upgrade of electronic health record (EHR) systems and adoption of health information exchange tools. Funding was provided through a SAMHSA grant and content was developed through the recommendations of the Health Information Technology Oversight Council Behavioral Health HIT Workgroup. The event provided an opportunity to hear from colleagues and experts on best practices, lessons learned, successes and challenges around EHR adoption and upgrade, and health information exchange.

Webinar - Suicide prevention

OHA youth suicide prevention staff provided an overview of Oregon’s statewide youth suicide prevention programming, available resources and opportunities to support your local community’s efforts. CCOs will learn about six OHA-supported programs and how they can strategically support them. Teresa Lavagnino from Care Oregon gives an example of how her CCO is working with other resources to support local suicide prevention efforts.
