internally, there will be an effort to share them with
stakeholders.

CMBHS:
Mental Health Services
• Phase 1 - Data from CARE and MBOW will be regularly
imported into CMBHS, keeping the current data submission
process for LMHAs unchanged.
• Phase 2 - LMHAs will submit data directly to CMBHS using
data-sharing standards developed by Nationwide Health
Information Network (NHIN), a federal HHS initiative to provide
a secure, nationwide, interoperable information infrastructure to
connect providers, consumers, and others involved in
healthcare.
Panel of DSHS staff, providers, and vendors is being assembled
to develop data-sharing standards for elements not covered by
the national standards.
