SUMMARY:Geographic and Racial Disparities in Behavioral Health ...
DESCRIPTION:About this Webinar Training\n\nGeographic and Racial 
 Disparities in Behavioral Health Services in Michigan 
 MedicaidFederal rules require state Medicaid managed care 
 programs to develop a quality strategy that includes a plan 
 to "identify\, evaluate\, and reduce... health disparities 
 based on age\, race\, ethnicity\, sex\, primary language\, and 
 disability status." This work may be delegated to managed 
 care entities that might be technically and operationally 
 unprepared to take it on. Without assistance\, health care 
 program leaders may have difficulty figuring out where and 
 how to start. Using data from the Michigan Medicaid agency\, 
 four quality of care measures were stratified by 
 race/ethnicity and county for measurement years 2018-2020. 
 Results indicate that racial/ethnic disparities exist for 
 most measures\, in all counties\, in all years. And although 
 there are differences in performance across counties\, there 
 are also clear trends.\nClick here to access the Quality
