Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Workforce Dashboards

 

Indiana BHHS Professionals renew their BHHS license every two years under the Indiana Behavioral Health Board. At that time, they provide information on their professional characteristics. This information informs the interactive Tableau dashboards below.

SEA 223: Standardizing data collection

The data that Behavioral Health Professionals regularly collect on license renewal to support regulatory processes is minimal and would not be sufficient to inform physician workforce policy and planning. Fortunately, Indiana has robust information available on Indiana BHHS professionals (thanks to SEA 223). The standardized collection of data from BHHS professionals during license renewal enables the state to conduct analyses and inform the creation of policies and programs for BHHS professionals that are based on high-quality workforce data.

How is the data collected from Indiana BHHS professionals helpful?

Here’s an example. During the COVID pandemic, the accessibility of comprehensive and granular data on Indiana’s BHHS professionals allowed the State to respond quickly, identifying pulmonologists (specialty) that work in inpatient settings (practice setting) in counties that were hardest hit by COVID-19 (practice location). These are three data fields that prior to SEA 223-2018 were not being captured on Indiana BHHS professionals.

Our hope is that this visualization tool makes Indiana’s robust health workforce data more accessible to everyone.

More Information:

Population-to-provider FTE ratios are widely used for assessing health workforce capacity. Benchmarks presented in these data visualizations correspond to those outlined in federal code for health professional shortages. (More information is available at https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/part-5).

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines Rural-Urban Continuum Codes (RUCCs) as “a classification scheme that distinguishes metropolitan counties by the population size of their metro area, and nonmetropolitan counties by degree of urbanization and adjacency to a metro area.” For more information on the definition of RUCCs, go to https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/rural-urban-continuum-codes/documentation/
