Webinar: How to Improve Addiction Treatment by Systematically Tracking Patient Outcomes

Date

February 05, 2019 01:00PM - 02:00PM US/Eastern

Clinical trials have demonstrated that opioid treatment reduces death rates by 30 to 50 percent, yet one third of patients treated at specialty addiction programs drop out of treatment within two weeks of initiation. Treatment providers can significantly improve patient engagement and treatment quality by tracking patient outcomes. In this webinar, we will describe three evidence-based approaches to using patient outcome data to improve treatment effectiveness.

Dr. Tami Mark will summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of measurement-based care, provider feedback/profiling, and patient use of mobile applications to manage symptoms.  Three presenters will then describe examples of how they are using these tools in practice and present data on how the tools have improved outcomes in their programs.

As a result of this presentation, the participant should be able to:

  • Provide an understanding of the effectiveness of patient outcome data as a tool to improve patient engagement and the quality of treatment
  • Explain three approaches for making outcome data useful for improving engagement and outcomes: (1) provider profiling, (2) patient tracking of emotions and symptoms through mobile applications, and (3) measure-based care instruments administered during clinical encounters.
  • Identify the key elements that make outcome information useful as clinical and practice improvement tools
