Prepare for an enlightening data-driven discussion from our esteemed Behavioral Health Innovators series, presented by Lightning Step Technologies, at the NAATP Conference 2024. Our esteemed host, Benjamin Turner, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Staci Daniels-Sommers, the Chief Operating Officer at Vista Research Group, Inc., to delve into the pivotal role of outcomes measurement in addiction treatment.

Staci, a licensed clinical social worker, explained how Vista collects patient-reported data before, during, and after treatment to track progress and identify trends. Key insights include:

Academically validated scales measure symptoms like depression, anxiety, and trauma

Data helps providers adjust programs based on patient needs (e.g., increased trauma focus post-COVID)

Patient satisfaction and clinician connection are crucial metrics

Web-based surveys make data collection accessible and integrate easily into treatment

Most excitingly, Vista contributes to larger data repositories like NAATP's FoRSE program, advancing our industry-wide understanding of effective treatment practices.
