Assess CCBHC Program Readiness

Organizations with currently operating behavioral health departments may require extensive restructuring, adjustments to workflows, project management/oversight, and retraining of staff, including team capacity building, to transition their services to the CCBHC model.

 

How does an organization know if it is ready for CCHBC?

 

To assess for readiness, we recommend that an organization begins by reviewing these three (3) key documents:

​​

  1. The CCBHC Certification Criteria (Updated March 2023); click here

  2. The CCBHC Criteria Compliance Checklist (Updated March 2023); click here

  3. The most recently released NOFO (for those applying to SAMHSA for grant funding); or your state's application (for those applying for certification through their state)

 

After careful consideration of the above three (3) documents, organizations interested in pursuing the CCBHC program may request a free 30-45 minute consultation with a Gary Bess Associate team member. On this call, we can answer questions on program requirements, or provide feedback on areas of concern. To schedule a meeting, please reach us by email or phone.

"After we received our SAMHSA CCBHC PDI Grant, we engaged Gary Bess Associates as our Project Evaluator. They have been more than just a “Project Evaluator," they have worked with us on just about every aspect of the CCBHC project. They essentially handed us our Diversity Impact Statement when we started the CCBHC project. This was a tremendous help when we were overwhelmed with work and information during the initial months of the project. GBA has been able to help us with any questions concerning the CCBHC criteria and supported us through the evaluation and data planning process working with us on our sampling plan, the list of measures, and our internal data collection process and plan. ​We worked with GBA on our CCBHC Attestation and the supporting documentation. GBA provided us with a roadmap to develop our Attestation document and provided us with support, suggestions and help along the way. If you work with GBA, follow their roadmap and put the work in, you will be successful with your CCBHC. They are a pleasure to work with. GBA and their staff have been the best decision I’ve made through our entire CCBHC journey and my staff feel the same way!”
