Getting on Capacity Connect
To get your organization listing started, email zack@betterhealthtogether.org and include the following:
Organization Name as you’d like it to appear
First and Last name of contact(s)*
Email address of contact(s)*
From there, BHT will get you set up & send next steps for creating your listing. The initial set-up will take about 10 minutes of your time. But after that, updating your current capacity is just a few clicks.
* Your organization may have more than one contact person with login information. Each contact will have access to update your organization listing & capacity.
Two important notes – updated Feb 2021
Note 1: Listing should be at the organization level (not the site level)
Note 2: Changes suggested at the December BH Forum have been made: WISe is now listed among services, and Insurance Accepted now checkboxes & filterable on the user end. Please update these items the next time you log on to update your capacity.
August Topic: Behavioral Health Access report release & planning next steps for our region. BHT will finalize the report Executive Summary based on discussion at the August BH Forum, then distribute the final report to partners.
Behavioral Health Access Report – near-final draft (Executive Summary to be finalized following discussion)
The Behavioral Health Institute (BHI) has released an Executive Summary & a Summary of Relaxed Regulations regarding improved access to telehealth during COVID. Both of these are living documents, and updated versions will be posted as they are received.
Executive Summary – Sustaining Improved Access to Behavioral Telehealth
Summary of Relaxed Regulations
”During the COVID crisis, numerous regulations and policies related to telehealth and telemedicine have been temporarily relaxed in order to allow access to important services at a time when accessing services in-person was not an option. Many of these relaxed regulations proved successful at not only ensuring continuity of critical services, but at actually expanding services to people who were not accessing them through traditional methods. Before these changes are rescinded to pre-emergency levels, we have an obligation to evaluate which regulations are critical to expanding healthcare to the underserved citizens of Washington. Our goal in this effort is to produce a set of recommendations that sustain increased access to healthcare and align with the goals of the Healthier Washington Initiative.”
