ASAM Criteria Implementation
The NIATx Foundation’s ASAM Implementation Guide training aids organizations in using NIATx’s evidence-based process improvement model to help treatment programs and systems improve care and find a balance between fidelity to standards and the flexibility to meet the needs of patients. This training is essential for leadership to implement the 3rd and 4th Editions of the ASAM Criteria and make organizational changes that support its fidelity.

What Will I Learn?
This training teaches the NIATx model for process improvement in conjunction with the ASAM Criteria Implementation Guide as a foundational, straightforward way to implement, improve and sustain fidelity to the ASAM Criteria. Focusing on the NIATx Five Principles, the training provides a science-based foundation for evolving a culture of continuous improvement within the organization, not only for the ASAM Criteria but for any improvement or implementation project, Trauma Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Decreasing “no shows,” EHR, Treatment Plan Quality, Documentation, etc..
This training is an evolution of a Training for Trainers model. It goes beyond the single strategy and frequently ineffective belief that more trainers and training creates change. Although training and local expertise is an important component of implementation, it is commonly the only piece and is typically ineffective for implementation and sustainability.
