Summary
This Amendment provides funding for KPMG to move forward on the second phase of strategic work to elevate the adult behavioral health system of care in Pinellas County through development and implementation of an ODS. The ODS is a performance management tool that defines the most important indicators for tracking and reporting. Working collectively with funders to implement an ODS requirement for all providers will allow for: a comprehensive view of the client journey across the behavioral health system; high quality data collection and better outcomes; and continuous system improvement. The 32-week Phase 2 project will involve four work streams: project mobilization, ODS development, performance based contracting, and data warehouse development and launch.
