Crisis Assessment
Beginning in 2020, the North Sound BH-ASO has commissioned an annual assessment of the crisis system. This Annual Assessment is developed to not only satisfy our reporting requirements with HCA, but to provide a brief examination of how the crisis system is operating and identify opportunities to improve or expand service delivery as part of our strategic planning.
