BHL Crisis Data Platform Questions and Guides

BHL User Guides:

The Behavioral Health Link (BHL) crisis data platform includes user guides in the menu that can be accessed and reviewed at any time. The guides can be found in the Support section of the left-hand menu in the platform:

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why can’t I see the whole screen? 

A: There are three stacked lines in two places that when clicked will modify your view by collapsing and expanding a portion of the viewable area for better visibility. 

Q: How do I upload documents?

A: Go to the care plan section and add the document you will be uploading in the summary, under the section you are working on, click upload.  Scroll to the bottom and click save.  It may not currently look like the document recently uploaded, but after you save and re-open the case you should no longer see an upload button and only see a download button- this means your document is there.

Q: Why did the recipient I entered disappear?

A: The recipient is still pending. If you entered someone’s name and the name “disappeared” it is because you did not go to the care plan page and scroll to the bottom and hit save.

Q: What do the Case Statuses mean?

A: In progress means you are still in the assessment phase. Open means you continue to deliver services. Closed means all services for this episode of care has ended.

To save the change in status, choose the correct status, scroll to the bottom hit care plan, scroll to the bottom of the second page and hit save.
