Community Metrics

Abstract

The East Metro Mental Health Roundtable is a collaboration of law enforcement, social service agencies, health systems, hospitals, and others who address mental health care in the Twin Cities east metro in Minnesota. A subcommittee of the Roundtable, the Measurement Committee, was charged with quantifying the effects of the Roundtable’s efforts to reduce barriers to patient flow between hospitals and community services, better match available resources to needs, and reduce gaps in the continuum of care.
