Important Notice About the Massachusetts Standardized Documentation Project (MSDP)
As you may know, in June of 2006, the Board of Directors of ABH’s predecessor organization, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Corporations of Massachusetts (MHSACM) voted to establish an integrated e-Health strategy. This resulted in a proposal to establish a standardized documentation project, and ultimately, in the institution of the Massachusetts Standardized Documentation Project (MSDP). This was made possibly only because of a $250,000 grant to MHSACM from Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP).
MSDP was an initiative to develop and maintain statewide standardized integrated clinical and medical services forms and processes that provide enhanced compliance and quality for mental health and substance use disorder service delivery throughout Massachusetts. It was accomplished through a 10-month process, requiring significant dedication of member staff resources; buy-in and cooperation from state regulators and payers; and organizational piloting. While MSDP was successful, it has accomplished its purpose. The form set has not had an update since 2014. The ABH Board of Directors has determined that we will no longer be supporting MSDP updates. The MSDP resources located below will continue to be available, but they are no longer being supported.
ABH would like to thank all those who initially participated in our MSDP Steering Committee, and who dedicated their time and expertise to implement this project. We are extremely grateful for your help in developing a resource that led to improved quality of care and increased compliance.
