Credential and Geographic Trends
Among the individual deactivations, 2 Clinical Social Workers and 2 Mental Health Counselors were noted, each accounting for 29% of the total deactivations. These roles are central to direct patient care in behavioral health. Additionally, 1 Counselor and 1 RBT were deactivated. The single organizational deactivation was a Community/Behavioral Health Agency, representing 14% of the total. Geographically, Vancouver recorded the highest concentration of deactivations with 3 providers.
