Expert Insight

3 leaders are driving progress in behavioral healthcare. Here’s how.

Leaders from FloridaBlue, ShatterProof, and ChristianaCare are tackling behavioral healthcare in different ways. But their central point is the same: If you make behavioral healthcare a priority, you can drive meaningful progress.

In case you missed it, Advisory Board published a lot of research on behavioral health (BH) care in 2023 — the product of conversations with dozens of BH and health equity experts across the industry. We hosted a virtual cross-industry roundtable, examined the intersection between BH care and value-based care at our Value-Based Care (VBC) Summit, and talked about the provider’s role in structurally improving BH care at the AHA Innovation Summit — among other things.

As Advisory Board’s Expert Partner for BH care, I talk about this subject with all sorts of leaders from all sorts of healthcare organizations. Here are three conversations I had with healthcare leaders last year that make me optimistic about what’s in store for 2024. The central theme that runs across all three: If you make BH care a priority, you can drive meaningful progress.
