About

Under this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project, Research Topic 155, the Contractor will create an integrated multi-module system of web software tools to aid in behavioral health screening, prevention, triage, and tracking in medical, school, and mental health settings.

Full description

Health care systems experience problems with lack of tools, lack of knowledge, process variation, and system fragmentation in addressing behavioral health. As an ongoing science-based process for improving care and lowering costs, robust increases in translational capability are needed to re-tool health delivery systems for behavioral health integration. A logic linking translational capability to behavioral health integration as an ongoing shared information process, founded on the core belief that enabling human action with new information technology tools can grow knowledge, is the most powerful way to solve problems and improve health care.

Given these connected and interacting issues and obstacles, the Contractor has developed a solution strategy, building on four tiers of prior innovation and validation:

• The Behavioral Health Screen (BHS);
• BH-Works: the web software delivery of the BHS and new production features from Phase I;
• BH-Works Portal: new production software features from Phase I; and
• BH-Works Services: expertise and professional services to help primary care providers and healthcare systems integrate behavioral health into their organizations and workflows.
