DHHS Behavioral Health Strategic Plan 2022-2024

The DHHS Behavioral Health Strategic Plan 2022-2024 Influence - Integration - Inclusion - Innovation - Value is now available.

OpenBeds

Nebraska Division of Behavioral Health has been working with Bamboo Health's OpenBeds® platform that will identify, unify, and track all mental health and substance use disorder inpatient and outpatient treatment resources in a single, common network, available 24/7. This HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based solution:

replaces inefficient manual tracking, search, communication, and reporting functions;
facilitates rapid referrals and feedback; and
fosters collaboration and coordination among hospitals, primary care, behavioral health, law enforcement, courts, crisis systems and other community service organizations.

Nebraska's implementation will occur in phases. For more information and to find out how you can enroll, click here: https://bamboohealth.com/ne-openbeds-onboarding-resources/

Continuum of Care Manual

View the Continuum of Care Manual here. For all services funded by the Division of Behavioral Health on or after November 1, 2021, service delivery must meet the definitions as identified in the Continuum of Care manual. The new Continuum of Care Manual includes updated service definitions, guidance on telehealth service provisions, and prevention information. The utilization management guidelines and billing processes have not changed.
