Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presentation is a seminar on measurement and assessing outcomes in office-based addiction treatment. Dr. Karen Drexler serves as the speaker and discusses the rationale for measurement-based care and the use of the Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM) for assessing outcomes. The BAM is a patient-reported outcome measure that includes questions related to substance use, risk factors, and protective factors for recovery. Dr. Drexler explains the process of measurement-based care, which involves collecting data, sharing the results with patients and the care team, and using the information to inform shared decision-making and treatment planning. She also highlights the availability of the BAM as a freely available assessment tool and the benefits of using it in outpatient clinics. The presentation emphasizes the importance of measurement-based care in improving the quality of addiction treatment and the value of the AMNET tools in facilitating this process. Overall, the seminar provides valuable insights into the use of measurement-based care in addiction treatment and encourages healthcare providers to consider implementing these practices in their own practices.
