CCBHC Health Information Technology Toolkit 

This Health Information Technology (HIT) Toolkit helps organizations perform an assessment of how they are meeting Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Certification Criteria requirements while assessing their technology maturity. Organizations can use this resource as they embark on the journey toward operating as a CCBHC.  

This toolkit supports organizations in following the requirements set by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and leveraging HIT across the organization. Paired with the self-assessment spreadsheet and supporting focused checklists, this resource helps highlight areas of strength and those that require attention. 

This toolkit was developed in 2024 by RSM US LLP in partnership with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s CCBHC-E Training and Technical Assistance Center. It reflects industry best practice considerations for operating a technology environment, with an emphasis on the primary technology solutions and capabilities that can support a CCBHC’s operation.
