A Universal Approach to Improvement

• Applies to SA or MH or Integrated Treatment…and more • Works across institutions, functions, subject matters, levels of care, settings… • Customized to your identified goals and needs • It’s a map and compass (not a full “Turn by Turn” GPS Navigation System)…”Recalculating” is the team’s job Reduce Waiting & No-Shows  Increase Admissions & Continuation

Statistics and a Conclusion

• 19 million Americans need treatment • 25% are able to access treatment • 50% of those in treatment do not complete • The way services are delivered is a barrier to both access and retention
