What is the Addictions Recovery Measurement System?

My goal in writing this article is not only to educate and make others aware of these complex issues, but also to offer strategies and practical tools for clinicians to utilize in attacking these problems. The Addictions Recovery Measurement System (ARMS) was developed in an effort to help healthcare providers to: 1. Provide the highest quality of patient care that improves patients?overall health 2. Document health risk reduction effectiveness and medical care cost reductions 3. Comply with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's evidence-based prevention assessments and recommendations for early detection of diseases 4. Support the U.S. Department of Health’s Healthy People 2010 national initiatives 5. Comply with JCAHO and CARF standards for outcome measurements 6. Help change the current health care system from a traditionally symptom-reduction focused model to a holistic multi-dimensional prevention model 7. Maintain treatment efficacy and integrity for healthcare program viability The ARMS is a standardized multidimensional integrative program that offers a combination of twelve primary clinical and innovative assessment and measurement tools to assist providers and consumers of healthcare services with the following seven objectives: Initial Intervention Diagnosis Prognosis Treatment Level of Care Recommendations Progress Management Discharge Determination and Outcome Measurement. The ARMS patient progress tracking system also includes a performance based holistic health and wellness non-confrontational point system. It provides a uniform administrative device to impartially screen, monitor, and re-assess a patients?initial bio-psychosocial medical condition for prognostic indicators, treatment progress indicators, and subsequent treatment outcome indicators.

This motivational measurement system can track patient progress in six (PD) Progress Dimensions from admission to discharge to coordinate continuity of care given to the patient by multiple providers simultaneously. The ARMS incorporates a comprehensive prognostication system of instruments with a treatment progress and outcome measurement system that visually displays a patient's journey from enrollment to recovery. The goal of treatment outcome measurement is to yield more effective, targeted, and clinically validated treatments to match individual patient needs through continued research. The Addictions Recovery Measurement System is equipped with an arsenal of assessment tools and prognostic, progress, and outcome measurement instruments to help you fight the War on poly-substance and behavioral addictions.
