Welcome, Los Angeles County SAPC treatment providers.
Strategic framework design + Power BI
Turn SAPC reporting into decisions your team can use.
BHODS pairs behavioral health expertise with Power BI design, from one pressing report to a data system built from the ground up.
A timely decision
Choose a data platform your teams can actually put to work.
SAPC's data aggregation activities ask providers at different stages to document sources, establish baseline metrics, implement or advance a platform, and use reporting for quality improvement. The right starting point depends on your cohort, existing systems, and the decisions your team needs to make. Review current SAPC materials ↗
Start where you are.
One pressing report
A source and measure already exist, but staff spend too long reconciling it or the audience cannot use it. We scope a bounded report or dashboard improvement.
Several moving parts
Program, quality, finance, and IT each see part of the picture. We align definitions, access, refresh routines, and a practical leadership view.
The data sources or reporting process are fragmented. We map the questions, systems, owners, measures, and phased implementation before building.
Starting from zero
Why Power BI can fit a growing provider
Adaptable to your work
Build different views for frontline supervisors, program managers, executives, and the board from agreed definitions, with access designed for each role.
Works with existing sources
Connect supported files, databases, and services as your reporting matures. The design can begin with a manageable use case and expand over time.
More control over the work product
We design around your organization-managed data sources and Microsoft workspace, documented measures, and a clear handoff. Your team should know where source data lives, who administers access, and how the reports are maintained.
Realistic implementation
Connect supported files, databases, and services as your reporting matures. The design can begin with a manageable use case and expand over time.
Two kinds of data expertise, working together
Together, Liz and Joe translate among direct service staff, managers, executives, board stakeolders, and IT. The goal is a trustworthy view each audience can use.
Behavioral health + operations
Liz Harvey, M.S.
Liz is BHODS's founder, evaluator, and behavioral health subject matter expert. She helps program and quality teams define what the numbers mean, which questions matter, how work happens in practice, and what leaders and funders need to understand.
Business intelligence + implementation
Joe Travers, BI specialist
Joe brings Power BI and data architecture expertise: source mapping, model design, reporting experience, refresh, access, and the technical handoff. He works alongside your IT team so the solution is practical to run and extend.
We work with the systems and people you already have.
Your EHR, Sage-related workflows, spreadsheets, finance tools, or an existing analytics platform may all be part of the picture. We will assess what can be accessed and used appropriately. A prior investment does not have to be discarded to improve the decisions it supports.
We know you have choices: a vendor dashboard, an internal analyst, a general BI firm, or another platform. BHODS is strongest when the challenge spans both behavioral health operations and technical reporting, and when your team needs a partner who can facilitate agreement as well as build.
A focused path from uncertainty to a useful first result
1. Fit conversation
Tell us the decision, deadline, people involved, and systems in play. We will say whether we are a fit.
2. Design the strategy & framework
For complex situations, start with a paid strategic framework: source and stakeholder map, priority measures, governance choices, first use case, and phased roadmap.
3. Build and transfer
Implement the agreed first view, validate it with users, and document ownership, maintenance, and next steps. Further work is scoped separately.
A useful worksheet to prepare for a discussion
Download the SAPC data aggregation conversation worksheet.
A one-page pre-call brief with two strategy questions, technical readiness prompts, and a focused first use case. Fill in what you know and bring it to our conversation; we will clarify the first decision and whether we are a good fit.
No email gate. Share it internally or bring it to a conversation with us.
