Administrative data can usefully contribute to identify both individual and organizational-level predictors of MAT provision, offering a valuable benchmark for managing organizational features of DMHs and for optimally allocating the working hours in multidisciplinary professional teams, with the goal of maximizing the provision of adequate mental healthcare.
