Announcing the Behavioral Health Promoting Interoperability Program (BH PIP)

Incentive for Facilities to Implement Healthcare Technology to Support Patient Care.

The Healthcare Division at New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) is excited to announce the new Behavioral Health Promoting Interoperability Program.  This innovative initiative is administered by the New Jersey Department of Human Services (NJDHS), Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS), in collaboration with the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS).

The program is designed to enhance the integration and exchange of health information across behavioral health systems, improving patient care and outcomes.  This program is part of the state’s broader commitment to supporting healthcare organizations in their journey toward digital transformation.  

Through this program, NJII is enabling behavioral health providers to meet federal interoperability requirements by adopting advanced health IT solutions that streamline the sharing of patient information securely and efficiently. By fostering seamless communication between different healthcare providers, the program aims to reduce administrative burdens, improve care coordination, and ensure that patients receive the highest quality of care.

Jennifer D’Angelo, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of the Healthcare Division at NJII, stated, “The new Behavioral Health Promoting Interoperability Program is a crucial step forward in addressing the unique challenges faced by behavioral health providers. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we are empowering these providers to deliver more integrated, patient-centered care.”

The BH PIP program offers eligible behavioral health facilities the opportunity to implement or upgrade electronic health record (EHR) technology, paving the way for more efficient care delivery. With milestones that are incentivized for payment by the New Jersey Department of Human Services (NJDHS) and other state health agencies, this program provides a crucial financial boost to facilities committed to improving their technological infrastructure.
