CCBHC expertise from inside the evaluation work.
EvalUit is a specialized consulting practice focused on program evaluation, quality measurement, data, reporting, and continuous quality improvement for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics.
Built from the evaluator's side of CCBHC implementation.
The work behind a CCBHC measure is rarely just a formula.
It starts with requirements, but it quickly becomes operational. Someone has to determine what the requirement means locally, identify the right source data, understand how staff document the information, validate what comes out of the system, reconcile discrepancies, explain the result, and decide whether the organization needs to act.
EvalUit was built around that work.
The practice is informed by direct experience leading CCBHC grant evaluation and the day-to-day responsibilities that come with it: federal performance reporting, evaluation planning, EHR and program data analysis, statistical reporting, KPI development, dashboards, internal data and documentation audits, continuous quality improvement, and translating behavioral health requirements into processes that teams can actually use.
That perspective matters because many CCBHC data problems do not begin with the analyst. They begin upstream, in definitions, workflows, ownership, system configuration, documentation, or implementation decisions. A useful evaluation function has to be able to follow the problem across those boundaries.
Reliable reporting is the floor. Useful evaluation is the goal.
What EvalUit brings to the work
EvalUit combines public health and health-systems thinking with practical program evaluation, data analysis, quality management, and compliance experience. The focus is not on producing more reports. It is on building measurement systems that can withstand scrutiny and still be useful to the people running the program.
That means clear definitions. Reproducible measures. Better data-quality controls. Focused KPIs. Evidence-based findings. CQI that follows through. Leadership reporting that explains what the number means, not just what the number is.
Full-service CCBHC evaluation
For organizations that need more sustained capacity, EvalUit can function as an external or fractional evaluator across evaluation planning, client-level performance data, SPARS workflows, sampling methodology, clinic-level quality measurement, dashboards, SAMHSA reporting support, data quality, analysis, and CQI.
Grounded in authoritative guidance
CCBHC requirements change and vary by program, state, grant, payer, and measure steward. EvalUit uses current authoritative guidance as the starting point, including SAMHSA and CMS requirements, and draws on established CCBHC technical-assistance resources such as the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. EvalUit frameworks and tools are designed to operationalize that guidance, not replace it.

EvalUit brings structure to complex evaluation work without losing sight of the people, workflows, and decisions behind the data.
Evidence before assumptions
Recommendations are grounded in specifications, source data, workflows, documentation, reporting artifacts, and the operational context behind the result.
Methods people can use
Definitions, dashboards, review processes, and improvement tools are designed to be understandable, repeatable, and maintainable by the teams using them.
CCBHC-specific depth
The practice stays focused on CCBHCs so evaluation support can reflect the model, reporting environment, quality expectations, and implementation realities.
