Jan, how has the behavioral health category evolved over your career?
I’ve seen the world of behavioral health in two eras: pre-Managed Care and post-Managed Care, and now there’s a new emerging era of Integration and Value, as both payers and providers acknowledge the comorbid relationships between mental health and medical conditions, a common example of which is a 30-day medical or surgical diagnosis readmission due to a non-compliant or undiagnosed mental health problem.
[Behavioral health] is in a really good place in the industry with some evidence-based models, more integration, some improvements with the payers...there is enormous opportunity on the investor side, given all of those really positive tailwinds that we are presently experiencing.
