Models of care delivery that account for quality care, progress toward outcomes, efficiency, and cost savings are the holy grail for all behavior health programming. Specifically for autism therapy, the goal of VBC models over the last several years has been to define the measures for treatment that can demonstrate progress or overall outcomes. Identifying these measures is only the first aspect. Execution of a VBC model for ABA requires methods of data collection across the practice in a systematic manner over time that is easily reportable. Only then can outcomes be truly measured. This talk will discuss a basic framework for assuring administrative and operational structure to collect, track, and analyze data required for VBC payment models for ABA therapy providers.
