Today, Greenspace Health, a leader in transforming behavioral
health services through Measurement-Based Care (MBC), and the
Oregon Council for Behavioral Health (OCBH) are proud to announce a
new partnership. This initiative is designed to enable Oregon
mental health and substance use service providers to implement MBC
in order to drastically enhance the quality of care available
across the state. Greenspace’s MBC technology empowers patients as
active participants throughout their care process, providing care
teams with actionable data and insights to inform clinical
decision-making, quality improvement, and to substantially enhance
patient outcomes.
Through this partnership, Greenspace and OCBH will work with
providers across the state to implement MBC. This will include
expanded training, educational resources and implementation
support, as well as alignment on the approach to patient-reported
outcome data to inform state-wide benchmarking and continuous
quality improvement initiatives. The goal is to encourage
collaboration across clinics and service providers, create
alignment on outcome data collection practices, share essential
learnings, and ultimately gather the objective insights necessary
to inform clinical decision-making and improve treatment
outcomes.
“OCBH chose to partner with Greenspace Health because of the
evidence supporting the effectiveness of MBC in improving client
outcomes,” said Tia Hotzler, Director of Operations, Oregon
Council for Behavioral Health. “We believe in the impact that
MBC can have on the quality of behavioral healthcare in Oregon and
are excited about the impact this initiative will have on the
overall wellbeing of the population.”
"We are excited about our collaboration with OCBH and the
opportunity to support their extensive network of over 70 private
and non-profit providers of behavioral health and substance use
services across Oregon," said Mike Braithwaite, Clinical
Partnerships Manager, Greenspace Health. "MBC is emerging as a
foundational component in elevating the standard of behavioral
healthcare, and we’re dedicated to assisting OCBH in achieving its
objectives to bring about this positive change."
“Bridgeway Community Health was the first organization to
partner with Greenspace through this initiative, and we are
thrilled to spearhead community health transformation guided by
data in Oregon. We look forward to achieving great things together,
driven by shared values and a commitment to excellence.” said
Renee Hancock COO, Bridgeway Community Health. “Our mission is
clear: to provide our clients with top-tier holistic quality
services and best-in-class treatment options that meet every client
where they are in their journey. Partnering with MBC empowers us
with essential data, enhancing our clinical insights and profoundly
improving patient well-being. It's about delivering care that
reflects the respect every individual deserves.”
