This episode of “Inside Health Care” features three interviews recorded live at NCQA’s inaugural Health Innovation Summit in November 2022. We first talk about the national “988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline” with a broader look at behavioral health crisis management at the national, county and community levels. Later on, we get an inside look at NCQA’s Recognition programs.
