SAMSHA Press Release about MH Data (09/2007)
$21 Million Awarded to Help States Enhance Mental Health Data Recording and Reporting Systems

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) today announced 55 grant awards totaling approximately $21 million over three years to help states and territories enhance their capacity to record and report on the performance of their mental health services. A Uniform Reporting System (URS) will be used to ensure program consistency and thoroughness among state grantees.

“These grants will support state efforts to collect and report data in a consistent and complete manner,” said Terry Cline, Ph.D., SAMHSA administrator. “Use of these data can lead to better program management and planning, and ultimately better services for people with mental illnesses.”

Grantees receiving these awards will be able to implement the following activities and special initiatives:

	Collect and continue reporting the URS measures, including National Outcome Measures (NOMs);
	Improve state and local data infrastructure to ensure accurate record and report URS and NOMs measures;
	Collaborate with State Mental Health Planning Councils on setting targets for service provision and consumer outcomes, using the URS/NOMs as a framework;
	Implement data quality initiatives including efforts to reduce missing, incomplete or incorrect data; and
	Develop web-based systems or approaches for improved URS reporting;

State grantees meeting all URS reporting requirements may propose additional activities, which include addressing development and refinement of client level reporting as well as working with state and local entities to develop electronic health records and personal health records.

Each state and the District of Columbia will receive up to $142,200 per year in total costs. U.S. Territories will receive up to $71,100 per year in total costs. Continuation of these grants is subject to the availability of funds and progress achieved by the grantees. Total funding for year one is $7.2 million.

The grantees are:
Utah Department of Human Services; Salt Lake City, UT -- $142,200
Grants under this initiative will be administered by SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services. For more information:

Appropriations Note - Appropriations: Mental Health services for the uninsured $2.715,200 General Funds (on-going) $2,715,000 General Funds on-going. Because of changes in federal Medicaid policy, mental health centers lost funding used to treat low-income uninsured children and adults living with serious mental illness. Untreated or under-treated mental illness can lead to expensive emergency room visits, hospitalizations, interaction with the criminal justice system, disability, unemployment, substance abuse, poverty, homelessness, and suicide.
