A leading US-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy provider, Verbal Beginnings, has partnered with The Clinician, a global healthcare company, to pilot a patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The program aims to support Verbal Beginnings in the delivery of person-centered care, leveraging The Clinician’s health platform to digitally collect and analyze health outcomes of children with ASD from the perspective of families and caregivers.
The program will enable Verbal Beginnings’ clients, families, and caregivers to remotely report on the health outcomes that matter most to them, including social communication, behavioral functioning, and quality of life. The outcomes collected follow standards set out by the International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), a global leader in value-based healthcare and patient-centered outcomes measurement.
A select working group of over 20 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) at Verbal Beginnings will be utilizing the PROMs data to supplement the clinical support they provide to their clients for the purpose of personalizing and enhancing care delivery.
