Interventions

  • Measurement-based care — BEHAVIORAL
    Patients will complete MBC measures with their treatment provider and follow-up surveys conducted at baseline and monthly intervals. Both providers and patients will use the Greenspace Mental Health tools to regularly assess patient-reported symptoms, review results together, and collaboratively design individualized treatment plans. Providers will implement MBC to guide treatment adjustments based on these assessments.
  • Measurement As Usual — BEHAVIORAL
    Patients will participate in Measurement As Usual (MAU) via the existing processes available within treatment sites. Currently, patients are assessed and participate in semi-structured interviews at 6-month increments to assess progress and appropriateness of level of care.

Study Details

The goal of this HEAL Initiative study is to enhance the measurement, quality, and equity of care delivered in 20 community opioid treatment programs (OTPs) by creating and using measurement-based care (MBC) tools and systems. Patients will use MBC tools to track their symptoms and discuss with their providers. This data will be collected over the course of the study to evaluate the effectiveness of MBC in improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
