Mosaic ccbhc - baltimore metro - mosaic community services, INC.'s proposed mosaic ccbhc-baltimore metro project will improve and advance mosaic's current certified community behavioral health clinic (ccbhc) serving baltimore city and baltimore county since 2018. The project will expand behavioral health services to 500 individuals annually, provide nurse care coordination services to improve health outcomes for individuals with CO-morbidities (e.g. diabetes, hypertension), and expand mobile treatment services in baltimore county. During the past three years, mosaic's ccbhc has increased access to behavioral health care to a total of 3,591 new, unduplicated individuals in both baltimore city and baltimore county over the past three years. Mosaic operates the only ccbhc located in the baltimore area and one of five grant funded ccbhc's in maryland. The project will continue ccbhc services in baltimore city and baltimore county and focus on improving health outcomes for children and adults with CO-morbidities including diabetes and hypertension. A dedicated nurse care coordination team provides intensive monitoring and supports in order to reduce ED/hospitalization utilization and improve health outcomes. Mosaic will also expand mobile treatment services in baltimore county to meet the needs of individuals who are unable to access traditional outpatient behavioral health services. Mosaic will also participate in a national electronic health record exchange called "care quality network" to improve integration of patient health information throughout the healthcare system. The ccbhc seeks to improve health outcomes and decrease unnecessary ED and hospital utilization rates mosaic will collaborate with the other maryland funded ccbhcs to conduct a cost analysis and sustainability plan to promote the future of ccbhc in maryland.
