OPCC Annual Report Shows Continued Growth, Strong Outcomes
CHDI serves as the Quality Improvement Center for a network of 22 community-based outpatient psychiatric clinics for children (OPCC) licensed and funded by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF). OPCCs provide mental health services to youth under 18 years of age and their families. We provide clinical training/workforce development, technical assistance and consultation about data collection, analysis, and reporting from the DCF Provider Information Exchange (PIE).
This report summarizes CHDI’s work since 2018, highlighting performance during state fiscal year (FY) 2023 (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023). OPCC providers have had to navigate post-COVID challenges that impact service delivery, including workforce difficulties and an increased demand for OPCC services. Despite these challenges, OPCC providers demonstrated strong results in access, quality, and outcomes.
