Hi Heather:
In 2019, ASPE did a study on this topic and highlighted a few states. There's also a much smaller 2017 report of state-by-state bed registries here. Research can sometimes be delayed, but it looks like there are 14 states with bed registries. Neither report outlines what the technology used was, just the type of technology (e.g., cloud-based), but this could help give you and your state some ideas as you plan this work out.
When I saw your message come through, I thought of OpenBeds so I'm looking forward to seeing how Ohio's pilot goes. They're a subsidiary of Appriss, which manages most states' PDMPs so I would imagine that data sharing on the SUD side could be helpful there.
Hope it helps!

Subject: Statewide Infrastructure Within the Mental Health Residential System (help requested) - 3/11/21
Hello AE's I am looking for any examples of statewide infrastructure within the mental health residential system of care that perform any of these following activities;
- Serve as a patient information protected "portals" database that support Mental Health residential systems for wait lists and supporting consumers transition through the system of care and / or that would allow care coordinators, health plans and others to use the system for their scope of service.
- or any technology or system that is used to improve waitlist problems, good enough capacity and access, improving right referral to right setting.
- Directory capacity to help referrents to know which programs are a better fit for their referral.
- And / or capacity empty / available provider bed capacity.
- Integration of all separate lists like a system that includes state hospital, MH residential, Local acute care, PSRB, AID and Assist ect.
Currently Oregon has separate excel type lists for each type and a separate excel capacity report. None of it easy to access to help these processes, or easily synthesis/ combine the various sets of information.
Thank you!
