Assessing Demand and Capacity for Behavioral Health Services in Northern Minnesota
Challenges to delivering mental health services in Northern Minnesota mirror those experienced in rural settings throughout the nation. Yet, little is known about how services can best be organized to meet these challenges. This project gathered the information necessary to measure demand and capacity and develop policy recommendations to improve the organization of behavioral health services in Northern Minnesota. The project has three central objectives:
Assess demand and capacity for behavioral health services
Develop a model to monitor demand/capacity over time
Propose recommendations to improve the organization of behavioral health services.
The project included key informant interviews and the collection of primary data over a one-year period from organizations and providers who serve persons with mental health care needs in the region. The data will be used as input to a model that will be developed to forecast the balance of demand and capacity for mental health services over time.
