"One of the effects of health care reform and the increased use of managed care is that states health and human service systems have become less and less similar. The benefits, the payers, the Medicaid expansion models, and more. We're providing strategy teams and marketing teams in the field with an up-to-date, data-rich snapshot of each state's market -- essential information for business planning," said Monica E. Oss, OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer. "Our team has done the work for them and can now provide the organizations with this vital information that can be used to develop their unique, successful market strategies. This thorough breakdown of such content it an invaluable tool in today's fast paced environment."
"Unless you fully understand the current key market issues and how they affect your state, you can't survive, let alone thrive, in the market," explains Oss. "And when it comes to assessing how to move forward with a new strategy or achieving performance goals, the number of potential resources available for executives can be daunting. The OPEN MINDS Behavioral Health System State Profiles clearly present the elements of each state's system and allow executives to examine how these nationwide trends are playing out in their own market."
