Data Strategy Questions and Answers In September 2019, N.C. DHHS released “ North Carolina’s Data Strategy for Tailored Care Management”, a policy paper describing how Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plans, Advanced Medical Home Plus (AMH+) practices and Care Management Agencies (CMAs) supporting Tailored Care Management will be expected to use data and information to fulfill care management responsibilities. The paper included details on: Types of data to be received, generated, collected and/or transmitted Triggers, formats and methods for exchange Data security and privacy standards Data sharing oversight and accountability expectations In response to public comments, DHHS has published a Questions and Answers document that provides a high-level summary of Tailored Care Management data- and system-related requirements across several key areas for stakeholder consideration.
Care Management Data System Guidance AMH+ practices, CMAs and other organizations providing Tailored Care Management will be required to maintain care management platforms (data systems) that allow care managers to better understand their assigned populations, document and monitor member care needs and respond as those needs change. The DHHS Care Management Data System Guidance document describes the features and required capabilities for care management data systems, as well as the pathways by which AMH+ practices and CMAs may satisfy the care management data system requirement. The full data exchange and use requirements for Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plans, AMH+ practices and CMAs are available in the Tailored Care Management Provider Manual and the Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plan Request for Applications (RFA).
