NASHP Releases Five-State Behavioral Health Workforce Policy Academy Results
The National Academy for State Health Policy published findings from a multi-state policy academy focused on strengthening the behavioral health workforce. Five states participated in the initiative to develop and implement workforce development strategies. The report includes success stories and resources documenting state-level approaches to addressing provider shortages and building capacity. The findings are relevant to Medicaid managed care organizations operating in states that participated or considering similar workforce development partnerships with state agencies.
MCOs face network adequacy challenges in behavioral health; state workforce initiatives directly affect provider availability, contracting strategies, and compliance with access standards.
