While inpatient treatment may be appropriate for some based on disease severity, this isn’t the best option for all. And it’s not enough for sustained success. Long-term outpatient care is key to recovery.

18. Priority working areas:
Provider Ratings
Payer-Based Reform
Develop a system that rates the quality of care delivered by providers and make this information available to:
Consumers to inform treatment selection
Providers to improve quality and align with Principles
Payers to incentivize high-quality care
State Licensors to identify high-quality care.
Facilitate the adoption of best practices by payers which:
Reduce barriers to quality treatment, and
Incentivize treatment consonant with the Principles of Care

19. Advancing this work: Provider Ratings Payer-Based Reform
Work with quality experts to identify measures and gaps and publish
Identify optimal framework for rating system
Build infrastructure to make it happen
Draft best practices
Expert and constituency review
Plan for implementation
