The Truven Report on Rhode Island Behavioral Health Project: Supply Report

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Motivation. Rhode Island’s vision is to ensure that all of its residents have the opportunity to achieve the best possible mental health and well-being within healthy local communities that promote empowerment, inclusion, and shared responsibility. To meet this vision, Rhode Island must have a complete view of its behavioral health system. This must include information on Rhode Islanders’ service needs, how services are financed, where services are used, the quantity and costs of services, and the societal cost of untreated or undertreated behavioral illness. This report describes the supply of behavioral health providers and behavioral health service capacity. It is one of four main reports of the Behavioral Health Project: (1) Demand Report, (2) Cost Report, (3) Supply Report, and (4) Summary Report.
