Children’s Behavioral Health Data and Quality Team
The Children’s Behavioral Health (CBH) Data and Quality Team (DQT) provides a forum for developing and refining data collection and management strategies related to screening, assessment, performance measurement and quality improvement relevant to children’s behavioral health in Washington State.
We use outcomes-based performance monitoring to be relevant to all children and youth with emotional and behavioral health needs served in Washington.
Membership
Membership is intended to be broad and inclusive of representatives from state agencies, system partners, families, youth and HCA staff. The Health Care Authority's (HCA) System of Care (SOC) research manager and behavioral health program manager serve as committee chairs.
Meetings and materials
Meetings are held quarterly (previously, semi-annually) and as needed, with agendas driven by the annual work plan and issues identified through data review by system partners.
