FoRSE Treatment Outcomes Program

Turning Point of Tampa is among other treatment providers that are members of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers and has been accepted as a participant in FoRSE. The FoRSE database is unlike any other in the field, containing data from a diverse set of providers across the country, representing tens of thousands of individuals receiving behavioral healthcare at all levels and types of addiction treatment.

The potential value of the access to this data is inestimable. This program represents the shared vision of treatment professionals such as Turning Point of Tampa that are invested as a technology partner to help patients by sharing de-identified data.

What is the FoRSE Treatment Outcomes Program?

The vision of FoRSE includes using education, data, and collaborative research to improve patient outcomes, and to advance health equity. FoRSE is committed to supporting systemic change toward social and racial equity that affects the access to recovery support services and treatment centers.

The goal is to improve treatment effectiveness and to ensure patients receive the highest quality therapy and treatments available.

The FoRSE Database

The FoRSE database is based on surveys. These surveys will be put into the medical record or other technology at each facility. Determining the best way to connect will be decided between the FoRSE team and treatment facilities that participate.

FoRSE Leadership

The FoRSE Board can have up to eleven members. A two-year commitment is asked from each board member and they may be eligible for additional service terms.

FoRSE is led by Executive Director Dr. Annie Petersg.

FoRSE relies on data sharing from technology systems from diverse populations. A clinical data repository allows the ability to provide site-specific benchmarking reports on aggregated and de-identified data.

Data Repository and Application Programming Interface (API)

FoRSE offers a centralized Data Repository and Application Programming Interface (API), allowing data sharing from different technology systems, with the ability to provide confidential site-specific benchmarking reports on the aggregated data.

FoRSE has developed a database that allows treatment facilities to submit de-identified patient data on a set of prescribed demographic and outcomes measures. Implementing and becoming a technology partner with FoRSE will not replace any current system used for data collection at the behavioral healthcare or addiction treatment providers facility.

How does FoRSE Measure Treatment Outcomes?

A team of addiction treatment professionals and advisors have researched and identified a variety of standardized tools and data points that are brief and used commonly by treatment providers. These measures, which are sensitive to change, cover an array outcomes, that can be used at multiple time points.

The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP) CEO Marvin Ventrell stated in a news release, “As the treatment for the disease of substance use disorder establishes its footprint within the larger health care system, it is imperative for its viability, establishment of law and policy, insurance reimbursement, and consumer confidence that providers be able to demonstrate quality of care in the manner the system requires” (NAATP, 2021)

Treatment Outcomes Program

As the collaborative work progresses, FoRSE will help to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness and value of treatment while determining the best outcomes across levels of care.

Systems of care and patient demographics are important parts of the foundation for recovery science and education.

As research and data is collected FoRSE will begin to understand better how certain social determinants will impact the overall health of patients. This will help to structure interventions and build better treatment outcomes.

Most studies have been based on evidence-based practices such as:

Medication-Assisted Treatment
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Twelve-Step Facilitation

By addressing specific outcomes, moral imperative decisions can be made based on evidence found.
