As discussed in other articles in this special issue, the Institute of Medicine's Crossing the Quality Chasm model is ideally suited to promote the transformation of mental health-care delivery systems [1]. The model identifies several key strategies through which transformation takes place, including new approaches to financing, preparing, and training of human resources; the introduction of evidence based practices; and implementation of information technology and performance measurement systems. This article focuses on only the last two of these strategies. Specific topics to be addressed include ( a) the role of information technology in transformation, (b) development of a national information technology strategy, (c) development of a common information technology platform for the field, and (d) identification of common performance measures. Special attention is devoted to Decision Support 2000+, a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration initiative to promote these goals.
