NAPHS Annual Survey
Each year, NAPHS surveys its membership to track trends in behavioral health care. The NAPHS Annual Survey reports on how the psychiatric health delivery system is changing and tracks key trends in the development of various levels of care (including inpatient, partial hospitalization, residential treatment, and outpatient care). Among key indicators reported in the survey are: admissions and days of care, lengths of stay, payer trends (including the role of Medicare and Medicaid), and expenses. The survey is an important reference used throughout the year by clinicians, administrators, financial analysts, media, healthcare consultants, federal agencies, and researchers. Survey Price: $400 for nonmembers. One copy free to each participating NAPHS-member organization or $300 each for additional member copies (no further discount). Item number TAS.
