- Abstract:
- In 2015, the American Hospital Association (AHA) reaffirmed its commitment to improving access to, and coverage and quality of behavioral health care by providing hospitals best practices and tools to assist them in navigating the changing behavioral health care system and understanding national, state and local activities affecting them. In support, this paper provides a broad, systematic literature review on the state of the behavioral health workforce in order to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing hospitals and health systems, and begin to find new ways to build capacity for the future.
