We cannot fix the healthcare quality and cost problems in the U.S. without better addressing the health and behavioral health needs of Americans with behavioral health disorders. This will require simultaneous efforts to improve the service delivery system and reform the payment models.

Version 1.0 of this Toolkit is being rolled out to assist the State of Arizona, the Regional Behavioral Health Authorities, and the RBHA Provider Networks as they work together to develop their Value-Based Purchasing programs. As these programs come off the drawing boards, the Toolkit will be updated to provide additional assistance as the RBHAs and providers move further into a multi-year transformation process supported by payment reform.
