FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Department of Health and Human Services will announce Wednesday that health care stakeholders have signed a first-of-its-kind pledge to improve mental health and addiction care nationwide.
Insurers, health systems, provider organizations, medical societies, and behavioral health partners will sign the voluntary pledge to advance evidence-based, high-quality behavioral health care across the country.
“As leaders committed to strengthening the nation’s behavioral health system and improving patient outcomes, we pledge to advance evidence-based, high-quality, patient-centered care for individuals experiencing mental health conditions and the chronic disease of addiction,” the pledge, obtained by the Daily Signal, reads.
The pledge is a “shared and enduring commitment to advancing behavioral health care through evidence, innovation, professional standards, and continuous improvement.”
The stakeholders promise to provide timely access to high-quality mental health and addiction treatment; evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, treatment, referral, and recovery support; and measurable quality standards, outcomes, accountability, and continuous improvement.
They also pledge to use patient-centered, recovery-focused care that supports long-term wellness; clinical expertise and individualized treatment decisions based on patient needs and the best available evidence; and whole-person care, including addressing other chronic diseases.

In June, HHS announced it would provide more than $700 million in funding for behavioral health initiatives, including mental illness, addiction, and homelessness.
