Provider Outcomes Dashboard

Framework BlankMagellan of Arizona, the Arizona Department of Health Services' Division of Behavioral Health Services (ADHS/DBHS) and behavioral health providers have collaborated to develop innovative provider outcomes dashboards that align our combined efforts in strengthening the behavioral health system based on core metrics.

The online dashboards provide important information to service recipients and their families as well as to the providers themselves on areas that are working well and those that need improvement. Each dashboard includes critical indicators that are grouped into balanced scorecard categories. The dashboards can be reached quickly at any time by using the URL www.MagellanofAZ.com/dashboards.

The dashboard ensures 18 key metrics are monitored for improvements month over month. These measurements include staffing and caseload ratios, employment, individuals' community reintegration and involvement, and much more.
