Business is Business and Nobody Lies –
July 8, 2019 – Joanna Conti, BS, MS, considers her family “extremely fortunate” to have found programs that treated her daughter for an alcohol addiction despite having little data to go on when choosing a provider. In her work now as the CEO of Vista Research Group, a firm she founded in 2015, she hopes to map out a future in which data can be used to better inform clinical care, create better treatment outcomes, and give families and payers tangible evidence to compare programs. Conti will present on the use of measurement-based care and outcomes research at NCAD East, which convenes Aug. 15-18 in Baltimore. Ahead of the meeting, she spoke with Behavioral Healthcare Executive about how her family’s experiences drove her to launch companies dedicated to improving addiction treatment, the effectiveness of measurement-based care, and the independent outcomes research could be critical for the future of value-based reimbursement.
