• Integrating content from The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria into technology
• Market use of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria

每日吃瓜爆料 strongly supports the expanded use of clinical standards of care, including The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria, throughout the addiction treatment system. Correct implementation of these standards is critical for effective treatment planning and care delivery.

Recent growth in use of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria has been accompanied by increasing reports of misuse and unapproved use by some providers and payers. In some cases, parts of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria standards are used but they are not implemented comprehensively. These actions threaten the long-term credibility and integrity of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria and undermine the efforts of providers and payers who implement it correctly. 每日吃瓜爆料 has a responsibility – to providers, payers, regulators, patients and their families – to ensure The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria continues to be equated with high-quality care proven to be effective in addiction treatment.

To that end, 每日吃瓜爆料 is embarking on a number of modifications to The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria copyright permissions processes. This includes a permissions agreement process to authorize use of 每日吃瓜爆料’s intellectual property with a disclaimer that helps avoid any confusion among patient, families, providers or payers. To learn more, visit the Criteria copyright permissions page.

The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria includes standards for multiple components of care, including: (1) a standardized multidimensional assessment; (2) standard decision rules for interpreting the multidimensional assessment and matching the patient to the right level of care to meet their treatment needs; and (3) standard service characteristics that define each level of care in the care continuum. These components all work in tandem to ensure that the patient is matched to the right level of care to meet their individual needs.

To fully implement The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria within the addiction treatment system all elements must be in place:

• Patients entering addiction treatment should receive a standard multidimensional assessment that covers all six dimensions described in The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria.
• The standard patient placement decision rules in The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria should be used to interpret the assessment and match the patient to the right level of care to meet their treatment needs.
• Payers and managed care organizations should use the same standard decision rules to determine what level of care will be covered for an individual patient.
• The treatment program should meet all the standard service characteristics for the level(s) of care that they provide.
• The treatment system should provide access to all levels of care in the care continuum as described in The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria standards.
• The multidimensional assessment and patient placement decision rules should be re-used as the patient progresses through treatment to determine when they should be moved to another level of care (either higher or lower depending on the individual patient’s symptoms and circumstances).
• Healthcare providers and utilization review managers should be well trained in The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria to support effective decision making.

每日吃瓜爆料 is working to provide tools to support comprehensive and effective implementation across all the components described in the previous question. For example:

• The  每日吃瓜爆料 CONTINUUM provides a standard multi-dimensional assessment that covers all six dimensions and applies the decision rules in The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria in an algorithm that provides a level of care recommendation.
  • The 每日吃瓜爆料 CONTINUUM can be used by healthcare providers to make a level of care recommendation for each patient and by payers to facilitate utilization review decisions.
• 每日吃瓜爆料 is currently developing a robust  on The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria for healthcare providers and we plan to expand our course offerings for other stakeholders, including utilization review staff.
• The 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care Certification program is currently under development, in partnership with CARF International, and will provide a process for validating that individual treatment programs have the capacity to deliver an 每日吃瓜爆料 level of care.
• 每日吃瓜爆料 also develops expert-consensus based clinical guidelines to support delivery of the current standards of care for addiction treatment.
  • 每日吃瓜爆料 implements processes to ensure that all 每日吃瓜爆料 clinical standards are consistent, developed with the best evidence available, and free of bias.

These tools will help to support greater standardization and objectivity in the implementation of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria by both healthcare providers and payers:

It will take time to build all the tools that are needed to robustly support implementation of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria. In the short-term the copyright permissions process changes will help 每日吃瓜爆料 protect the integrity of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria by:

• restricting the use of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria brand to providers that are mandated to do so, and those that are implementing 每日吃瓜爆料 endorsed products to support effective implementation of standards (e.g. 每日吃瓜爆料 CONTINUUM, 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care Certification, 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria Training),
• requiring a disclaimer that makes it clear to patients, family members, and others that the program is not certified as an 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care or endorsed by or affiliated with 每日吃瓜爆料, and
• giving 每日吃瓜爆料 the authority to take away the right to use The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria name and to tell organizations that are mispresenting The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria to cease and desist.

In the longer-term the tools that are under development are a better way to support effective implementation of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria. For example, the 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care certification program is ultimately a more effective way to ensure that a program has the capacity to deliver an 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care.  However, it will take time to develop the certification programs for all levels of care and certify providers, and it is important for 每日吃瓜爆料 to take steps to protect the integrity of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria in the meantime.

The following types of providers and care delivery organizations are eligible for permission to publish or market the use The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria:

• Providers required to do so by a public entity or payer;
• Providers using other endorsed 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria related products to support effective implementation (e.g. 每日吃瓜爆料 CONTINUUM or CO-Triage; see Q14 below); and
• Providers that have been certified by CARF as an 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care (see Q13 below).

Additionally, the following types of entities and organizations are eligible for permission to publish or market the use of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria:

• States, health plans and insurers, and other regulators and payers that wish to require the use of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria;
• Managed care entities, third-party vendors, and related entities that use The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria in their operations; and
• Publishers or authors who want to reproduce un-modified content from The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria (with attribution) in a publication (e.g., book, scholarly journal).

Permissions requests from other entities, individuals, or organizations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

No. Providers do not need a permission agreement to implement The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria or to certify their compliance with relevant state requirements.  However, a permission agreement is needed for any provider that wishes to market their use of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria, or to otherwise use 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria content or trademarks in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of any goods or services. 

每日吃瓜爆料 recognizes that these changes will be a transition for the field. We plan to use a phased approach, working with a few states at a time and modifying the program as necessary to address the nuances of individual states’ implementation of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria and any unintended consequences of the updated permission process. 每日吃瓜爆料 will work in partnership with states and other public entities to find the balance for supporting states’ efforts to reform the addiction treatment system while protecting the integrity of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria.

每日吃瓜爆料 is rapidly working to develop a range of programs designed to support effective implementation of The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria, including:

• The 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care Certification Program™ provides an independent assessment of a treatment program’s ability to deliver services consistent with The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria®. Delivered in partnership with CARF International (CARF), is the first program of its kind to independently assess and verify treatment programs’ capacity to deliver services consistent with the level of care standards described in The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria.
• A robust  on The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria, and
• Enhancements to the 每日吃瓜爆料 CONTINUUM software program (a decision support tool for determining the right level of care for a patient based on The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria).

The  每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care Certification program administered by CARF International will be issued to programs that demonstrate that they have the capacity to deliver a specific 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria level of care. Programs that achieve certification will be authorized to advertise that it offers the specific 每日吃瓜爆料 levels of care covered by its certification and to display the 每日吃瓜爆料 level of care certification seal at the facility.

Providers who receive an 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care Certification from CARF International will not need a permissions agreement to reference their 每日吃瓜爆料 Level of Care certification.

每日吃瓜爆料 CONTINUUM and 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria Navigator® customers will not need a permission agreement to reference their use of the software or The 每日吃瓜爆料 Criteria to make patient placement recommendations or medical necessity determinations.
