Presentation Summary: This workshop will introduce measurement-based care (MBC) as an evidence-based intervention for enhancing treatment in opioid treatment programs (OTPs). Participants will learn the key components of MBC (Collect, Share, Act), understand its benefits for patient care and shared decision-making, and gain practical skills for integrating MBC into OTP workflows. The workshop aims to address barriers to MBC implementation, helping OTP providers improve patient outcomes through ongoing treatment progress monitoring.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:

Define measurement-based care (MBC) and describe research support for applying MBC to monitor treatment progress.
Describe the benefits of implementing MBC into opioid treatment programs for patients and providers.
Apply the knowledge on how to deliver MBC in a patient-centered manner.
