"
It doesn't matter how many "resources" you have, if you don't know how to use them, it will never be enough."
What is the "CLMHD Behavioral Health Portal?"
The CLMHD Behavioral Health Portal is a resource designed to be used by Directors of Community Services and their planning designees to support meaningful services planning and system oversight at the local and regional levels, including assessing the impact of significant systems changes like the shift to managed care, health home implementation and other Medicaid redesign initiatives.
What is Included?
The Behavioral Health Portal includes data from several systems:
- County and regional estimates of the use of tobacco products, alcohol, illicit drugs (including non-medical use of prescription drugs) and mental health issues - as reported by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
- County and regional estimates of the number of Medicaid FFS and Managed Care recipients with a potential need for behavioral health or developmental disability services and their general demographic characteristics as available through the Salient No PHI Medicaid Data System, which contains statewide Medicaid Fee-for-Service claims and encounters and associated demographic, diagnosis, and service detail.
- County and regional adult inpatient admissions data (all payer) as reported in the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS),
- County and regional Medicaid FFS and managed care service utilization summaries for priority populations, including behavioral health and developmental disability service recipients.
- Local estimates of the number of homeless individuals and households as reported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Annual Continuum of Care Homeless Populations and Subpopulations Reports
Other data sources will be added over time based on priorities identified by the CLMHD membership and the Mental Hygiene Planning Committee.
Key Features

Did you know that the CLMHD Behavioral Health Portal facilitated collaboration with a Managed Care company? It's true!
A regional health plan was developing a NYS DSRIP application and wanted to include some prevalence information but because the plan did not provided behavioral health care services they could not cull the desired information from their extensive data bases.
So, they reached out to an LGU to discuss their data needs, and the CLMHD
Behavioral Health Portal
came to the Rescue!
County planning staff accessed the CLMHD Behavioral Health Portal and provided the health plan with county and regional information on service use data and chronic health conditions.
- Estimated Prevalence
- Adult Inpatient Admissions
- Inpatient Use by Payer
- Additional Chronic Conditions
The health plan was impressed with the information provided, the breakdown by age groups and the inclusion of information about children's and transitional youth's needs. None of the information provided would have been in their DSRIP application without their connecting with the LGU. The health plan was surprised with the level of co-morbid chronic conditions shown by these reports which could lead to additional opportunities for collaboration.

This data view takes the cohort of individuals potentially in need of mental health or substance use disorder services, combined as behavioral health services, and then "drills down" to provide an overview of the types of Medicaid services members of this group actually received during the most recent three year period. The Service Use Snapshot table view summarizes the # of individuals who received services, under managed care (if enrolled) or under fee-for-service within seven broad service areas - Mental Health, OASAS, OPWDD, Emergency Room, Inpatient, Behavioral Health Outpatient, and Primary Care.

This Dialogue explores the number of adults admitted for inpatient care at community hospitals during the most recent two years, and of this group, how many admissions were for individuals with behavioral health conditions. These all payer data provide a baseline from which to track trends in admissions and days in care for individuals with behavioral health disorders - including shifts associated with healthcare reform, Medicaid redesign, and changes in state-operated inpatient services

This Dialogue will provide information about updates made to the Behavioral Health Portal.
