Virginia behavioral health officials have posted statewide accountability information on the Internet.

The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services said Tuesday that the data is part of a multi-year project to measure performance of publicly funded programs.

The health system includes 16 department-operated mental health hospitals and intellectual disability training centers and 40 locally-run community services boards.

Information provided includes the number of individuals served, demographics and re-admittance rates.

Officials say the next step is to include regional and local data.
