Kansas CCBHCs roll out data warehouse to track access and outcomes
Summary
KDADS and partners are onboarding community‑based behavioral health clinics into a data warehouse to measure access, PHQ‑9 outcomes, social determinants and clinic‑level performance; KDADS said five centers are in production and most others will come online by late 2025.
Andy Brown, Deputy Secretary for Programs at KDADS, described a data‑warehouse project to aggregate community behavioral health clinic (CCBHC) data across the state and to track clinical outcomes, access and social determinants of health measures.
Brown said the data warehouse—created in partnership with the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas—will let the state measure whether CCBHCs are increasing access and improving outcomes for patients across nine required service areas. He reported a 15.4 percent increase in unique individuals served across the first five onboarded centers from 2023 to 2024 and presented clinic‑level outcome examples: Johnson County showed a measurable decline in PHQ‑9 depression scores among patients who screened positive and received follow‑up services (about 63 percent of the sample showed a clinically meaningful improvement by one measure).
Brown outlined new CCBHC quality measures introduced in January 2025—time to service (ISERV), depression remission at six months, screening for unhealthy alcohol use, depression screening and follow‑up plans, and social determinants such as employment status. He said the data warehouse will hold claims and clinic reporting and will allow both macro (systemwide) and micro (clinic‑ or patient‑level) analysis as more centers are onboarded. Brown said five centers are in production, nine more are in validation, and the state expects 25 of 26 CCBHCs to be in production by September 2025, with the final center following in early 2026.
