Leading Healthtech Company and Esteemed
Behavioral Health Association Unveil New Platform for Elevating
Standards of Care Delivery
NextGen Healthcare and Mental Health Corporations of America
(mhca) are joining forces to launch a first-of-its-kind Center of
Innovation (COi) that will promote best practices in behavioral
health care delivery and provide educational resources for industry
leaders—elevating standards of care nationwide.
A prominent national association of behavioral healthcare
organizations, mhca has been equipping industry leaders with
education, resources, and networking opportunities since 1984. In
today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, behavioral health
teams are experiencing new challenges as business models shift and
a shortage of behavioral health professionals persists. mhca and
NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of innovative healthcare
technology and data solutions, recognized the need for an
“open-source playbook” of best practices and a forum for industry
leaders to exchange ideas and evaluate solutions to shared
problems.
Formally launching on August 15, the COi will focus on creating
purpose-driven disruptions in areas such as data infrastructure
alignment, population health improvement, whole-person care models,
and alternative payment models. COi members will meet virtually and
in-person to explore these topics and others, learning from each
other and building relationships with forward-thinking peers from
various integrated care organizations, including Certified
Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), Federally Qualified
Health Centers (FQHCs), health center program look-alikes, and
community organizations.
“As the industry faces unprecedented shifts and growing demands,
we are honored to collaborate with mhca to launch a Center of
Innovation that will position behavioral health organizations for
long-term success,” said David Sides, CEO, NextGen Healthcare.
“This initiative underscores NextGen Healthcare’s commitment to
fostering innovative solutions and building alliances that drive
the future of integrated healthcare.”
“Founded on the principle of collaboration, mhca is committed to
addressing critical issues affecting behavioral health
professionals,” said Dale Shreve, president and CEO, Mental Health
Corporations of America. “We are thrilled to work with NextGen
Healthcare to create a Center of Innovation. Together, we are
poised to make significant strides in improving care delivery and
outcomes.”
COi membership is open exclusively to mhca members. Please visit
