The COB Initiative: Moving to the Purchase of Outcomes in Addictions Services

Brunei Emmanuel

Abstract

The cost of purchasing addiction services has become a significant stumbling block in the delay of treatment services since 1980. Outcome-based systems of care provide a sound means to measure the value of a service and a means to purchase services. Clinical and financial foci are recommended. New terminology to measure outcomes is needed in the form of essential data sets.
