The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $3.16 million Project Grant (CFDA 93.242, Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston to examine care coordination improvements for adults with serious mental illness (SMI). The four-year project, spanning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030, will use Medicaid administrative claims data from multiple states and quasi-experimental research methods to assess whether implementation of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) models improved follow-up care after hospital-based treatment for SMI patients. The research addresses a critical gap in understanding formal and informal relationships between hospital inpatient settings and outpatient specialty mental health clinics, with particular focus on post-discharge engagement within 30 days—a period representing high clinical risk for patients with SMI. The project will generate research deliverables and evidence to inform future care coordination strategies between hospitals and specialty behavioral health clinics. By examining whether the CCBHC program—a new payment and delivery model targeting specialty mental health clinics—improved clinical capacity to deliver integrated and coordinated care, the research will identify actionable insights for reducing fragmentation in mental health service delivery and improving treatment continuity for a vulnerable population currently experiencing significant gaps in evidence-based care access.
