01
Make delay visible
Translate waiting and unmet need into a structured access burden narrative.
Healthcare access intelligence
Measuring the Hidden Cost of Waiting for Mental Health Care
A multidimensional framework designed to identify and visualize barriers to mental healthcare access.
MHABISCORE
Access Delay
Time to care
ER Utilization
Acute care reliance
Disease Burden
Clinical burden
Functional Loss
Daily functioning
Suicide Risk
Ideation and behavior
Five burden indicators converge into one actionable access index.
Why MHABI exists
A standardized lens for access burden
Mental healthcare access is often measured through isolated signals. MHABI brings delay, acuity, function, service use, and disease burden into a clearer framework for research and planning.
02
Compare populations
Support more consistent identification of groups experiencing elevated barriers.
03
Guide validation
Create a credible foundation for future scoring, dashboards, and organizational analytics.
Five dimensions
Core indicators of mental health access burden
AD
Access Delay
Captures time-based barriers between need and appropriate care.
SR
Suicide Risk
Reflects severity signals related to ideation, behavior, and safety risk.
FL
Functional Loss
Considers impact on daily roles, work, school, and relationships.
ER
ER Utilization
Identifies reliance on acute care when timely outpatient care is unavailable.
DB
Disease Burden
Accounts for clinical complexity and cumulative behavioral health burden.
How MHABI works
From indicators to insight
Collect relevant burden indicators
Gather access, clinical, functional, utilization, and safety-related signals.
Generate MHABI Score
Use a future validated scoring workflow to summarize multidimensional burden.
Identify higher-burden populations
Visualize groups that may require earlier intervention or access redesign.
Dashboard preview
Future MHABI organizational dashboard
Preview how MHABI scores could help organizations monitor access burden, identify higher-risk cohorts, track waitlist pressure, and support data-informed resource planning using de-identified population-level insights.
Research credibility
Built for validation and scientific communication
MHABI is positioned to support publications, conference presentations, posters, validation activities, and future intellectual property documentation.
