Proposed Arizona Strategy (ctd.)• Environmental scan of numerous value-based purchasing
and reform efforts identified a need for support of behavioral health integration and efforts, including efforts to address substance use disorderso Gaps in existing efforts (e.g., ACOs)o Siloed public systemo Lack of coordination among payers and providers (and
infrastructure needs to enable coordination – data gaps)• Without addressing behavioral health needs, numerous other
reform efforts will face continued challenges. For example:• Reducing ED use and readmissions• Public health efforts to curb obesity, smoking, etc.• Value-based purchasing
