Making addiction treatment in New York more person-centered and accountable
Person-centered quality measurement and management in a system for addictions treatment in New York State
This project will build ways to track and share quality information across New York addiction clinics so people receiving care get safer, more person-centered services.

What this research studies
From your perspective, the team will collect information from outpatient addiction clinics across New York about clinic resources, use of medications for opioid use disorder, and outcomes like hospitalizations and overdoses. Clinics will receive performance feedback and some public reporting so leaders and staff can improve everyday practices. The state will fund electronic health record and data improvements to help clinics submit consistent information. You may contribute by having your care data included in these quality measures as part of routine treatment.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are people receiving treatment for substance use disorders, especially opioid use disorder, at outpatient clinics regulated by New York State.
Not a fit: People who do not receive care in New York State OASAS-regulated clinics or who are not engaged with outpatient services are unlikely to be affected or eligible.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could make addiction care more consistent and safer across the state, helping more people stay in treatment and reducing overdoses and adverse events.
How similar studies have performed: Quality-measure and feedback programs in other areas of healthcare have led to practice improvements, but applying them across addiction treatment systems is newer and evidence is still emerging.
