DSHS Geospatial Data Library Administrator, Washington State Department of Social and Health ServicesDSHS and the state Health Care Authority (HCA) jointly designated Regional Service Areas (RSAs) in June 2015, following legislative authorization in 2014. RSAs define new geographical boundaries for the state to purchase behavioral and physical health care through managed care contracts. They are not administrative authorities. Behavioral Health Organizations (BHOs) are located within newly formed Regional Service Areas (RSAs). There is one BHO per RSA, except for the Southwest Washington RSA, which has a contract with the Health Care Authority for managed care plans. RSAs join and include contiguous counties, contain at least 60,000 people on Medicaid, possess an adequate number of health care providers, and reflect natural physical and behavioral health service referral patterns. More information on BHOs is available at this link ( https://www.dshs.wa.gov/bha/division-behavioral-health-and-recovery/behavioral-health-organizations ).

This is a map service that you can use in custom web applications and software products. Your use of this map service in these types of tools forms a dependency on the service definition (available fields, layers, etc.). If you form any dependency on this service, be aware of this significant risk to your purposes. You might consider mitigating your risk by extracting the source data and using it to host your own service in an environment under your control. Typically, DSHS Enterprise GIS staff will provide notification of changes via the "Comments" RSS capability in ArcGIS Online. You may subscribe to the RSS feed that publishes comments to monitor any planned and notified changes.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/7ed86ab42dca4618a5784f681cd3ad24_0engState of Washington Geospatial Open Data PortalPublicDSHS Behavioral Health Organization Regions [Washington (State)]Web servicesWashington (State)Last Modified: 2016-07-06
