A roadmap for improving Utah's behavioral health system

In mid-2018, a UHA workgroup commissioned a formal study of Utah's mental health system to support informed discussions and decisions regarding potential solutions and reforms. UHA contracted with the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute to assess the current state of mental health services in Utah, highlighting gaps in services, barriers to providing and accessing care, and considerations for improving the system. Based on the Gardner Institute's report, the workgroup's collective knowledge of the mental health system, and additional assessments from researchers and industry stakeholders, UHA's mental health workgroup developed this proposed Roadmap for Improving Utah's Behavioral Health System.
