MISSION & GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The mission of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is to provide statewide leadership of a high-quality mental health and addiction prevention, treatment and recovery system that is effective and valued by all Ohioans. OhioMHAS strives to be a national leader in implementing a comprehensive, accessible, and quality-focused system of addiction and mental health care and wellness for all Ohio citizens.

PURPOSE

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services ( Ohio MHAS) is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to implement a comprehensive needs assessment process and landscape analysis of the behavioral health workforce and develop an associated dynamic and public user-friendly data dashboard.

BACKGROUND

The goal of this project is to better understand the current and ongoing needs of the behavioral health workforce, workforce supply and demand, and the identification of critical gaps in available data. The intention is to then use those findings to inform and develop a dynamic and public user-friendly data dashboard.

To guide vendors in understanding the type of functionality, design quality, and usability we are seeking, we encourage review of the following publicly available dashboards, which reflect the desired visual style, data presentation, and interactivity: https://www.phwins.org/dashboard and https://data.hrsa.gov/topics/health-workforce/nchwa/nursing-workforce-dashboard .
