Key Results
4.5 million students covered
All 254 Texas counties enrolled
Overview:
- TCHATT is an access-to-care program that provides targeted telehealth services in schools, and pairs individuals and families with community-based providers when appropriate. The two components create a comprehensive system of care for each student served.
- Trayt Health helps integrates behavioral health resources in school settings throughout Texas. Trayt’s technology platform has helped ensure the program is available in all 254 Texas counties covering 4.5 million students through intervention, care coordination, and measurement-informed direct clinical care.
The Opportunity
As part of a legislative push to expand mental health services in Texas, the state introduced the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) program in 2020 to provide in-school behavioral telehealth care to children and adolescents.
More than 10 of the state’s academic health systems that included Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Baylor College of Medicine, and The University of Texas Dell Medical School participate in the program. Psychiatrists and other behavioral health providers within those institutions support students through individualized telehealth sessions. Additional care steps are coordinated as needed with referrals to local providers.
TCHATT is funded by the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC), which selected Trayt Health as their measurement-informed care, precision psychiatry platform. Trayt helps TCHATT leverage technology solutions that facilitate collaborative care, track diagnosis and treatment, and automate reporting on performance and progress.
Technology that Creates an Ecosystem of Care
Trayt Health manages TCHATT’s care workflows, giving school staff a secure, easy-to-access, web-based portal where they can easily refer students into the program.
Trayt Health’s multifactorial data platform helps behavioral health specialists implement measurement-informed care (MIC) through standardized measures (such as the GAD-7 or PHQ-9) tracked over time. Trayt Health’s patient-facing app allows students and caregivers to track and report between-session symptoms and factors throughout treatment. This whole-person view allows clinicians to personalize treatment, working collaboratively to make data-informed decisions.
Program insights and reporting are available in near real-time, giving leadership the ability to monitor, adjust, and enhance care access. TCHATT can access and customize data within Trayt reporting dashboards, enabling program leaders to share program efficacy and success metrics with key stakeholders and state legislators.
For participating clinicians, this additional information is invaluable and helps to directly inform care pathways: Clinical treatment recommendations, medication management, follow-ups, and additional referrals are all captured within Trayt Health’s platform.
