COMCARE, PACA MH/DS, PACDAA and PACHSA invite the Pennsylvania behavioral health community to join us June 6, 2012 at the Penn Stater in State College to learn state and national perspectives on benchmarking and performance based contracting.

Dr. Paul Lefkovitz with Behavioral Pathway Systems is a national expert on benchmarking and behavioral health who has worked in several states. He will help participants gain an understanding of national benchmarks for financial, operational and clinical indicators of success.

Thanks to the sponsorship of COMCARE, the County Managed Care Resource, this training is offered at no cost for up to three participants per county.

Participants will learn about a model for performance based contracting that has been developed and utilized in Philadelphia and engage in discussion about feasible models for other BHMCO regions.

There is no cost to attend and lunch will be provided. Register up to three people per county by May 25, 2012. Follow the link below to register and view the full agenda.
