Data-Driven Leadership: The Foundation for Recovery Science and Education (FoRSE)

At the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP), we recognize the increasing complexities of the addiction treatment landscape, and the need for data-driven leadership to guide the future of the field. From rising patient acuity and workforce challenges to inequitable access to care and evolving clinical practices, the issues are complex. The Foundation for Recovery Science and Education (FoRSE) offers a unique, data-driven solution to these challenges. In this session, the FoRSE Executive Director will present the FoRSE Addiction Treatment Outcomes Program, a centralized database and benchmarking framework that empowers treatment centers to collect, share, and analyze de-identified patient data across various demographic and outcome measures. By leveraging this data, treatment providers can gain valuable insights into patient experiences, treatment effectiveness, and operational performance. Through a collaborative approach, FoRSE fosters leadership and evidence-based decision-making that drives improvements in addiction treatment outcomes. This session will showcase the power of data to transform care delivery, ensuring that treatment providers can lead with confidence in this ever-changing field.
