Priority Admissions Dashboard Quarterly Reports
Direct Care and Treatment (DCT), is required by statute to publish quarterly data on "priority admissions" to state-operated behavioral health programs. Under state law, DCT must give priority admission to civilly committed individuals who are waiting in jails or correctional facilities or who have been referred for competency attainment or competency examination. Admissions are made using a special framework that considers the patient's severity of illness, treatment needs, patient safety, public safety, and other factors.
Quarterly data are presented based on state fiscal year, not calendar year. State fiscal year 2026 began on July 1, 2025, and will end on June 30, 2026. Here are the reporting periods by quarter:
- 1st Quarter 2026: July 1 to Sept. 30, 2025
- 2nd Quarter 2026: Oct. 1. to Dec. 31, 2025
- 3rd Quarter 2026: Jan. 1 to March 31, 2026
- 4th Quarter 2026: April 1 to June 30, 2026
Use the dropdown menu labeled "Quarter" at the top of the dashboard below to select priority admissions data by reporting period.
