For over fifty years, The Association for Ambulatory Behavioral Healthcare has served as a conduit for best practices and networking in the industry. Our mission is to promote Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs as a vital component of the Behavioral Healthcare Continuum. Our vision is to provide education, advocacy and support for Partial Hospitalization Programs and Intensive Outpatient Programs.
Dear Members:
Throughout 2018, 44% of the hospitals surveyed by the Joint Commission were not meeting the new Measurement-Based Care Standard (MBC) CTS,03.01.09. As one of the most frequently cited standards in behavioral health in 2018, TJC surveyors are intensely reviewing this standard during accreditation visits. Organizations not meeting the standard fully will be cited and need to create a plan to meet the standard.
In response to requests by our members regarding training and information for Measurement-Based Care services, AABH has invested considerable resources and we are prepared to help the membership become fully educated to correct this service void.
Beginning on February 20, AABH will start an “Educational Roadshow” to support our member providers. The one-day presentations will be a double feature with the morning session covering the popular PHP/IOP 101. The afternoon session will provide a detailed review of the Measurement-Based Care standards and tools.
After completion of the one-day training session, the attendees should have the following necessary knowledge:
PHP/IOP 101
-
Basics of PHP and IOP services including policy and procedure development
-
Technical requirements and EHR integration
-
Staffing and QAPI expectations
​
Measurement-Based Care
Measurement-Based Care standards and policy updates
-
Tool Definition and identification of accepted assessment tools
-
