This webinar will provide an overview of the Foundation for Recovery Science and Education (FoRSE) Outcomes Program, including what the program is, why it exists, and how NAATP members can participate in 2026. Attendees will learn how FoRSE supports treatment providers in understanding outcomes data, identifying trends, and benchmarking performance against national aggregates. In this presentation, we describe this year’s Program deliverables—inclusion in the national outcomes repository, data site designation, annual summaries of aggregate data, and benchmarking snapshots—and explain how these tools can help you understand the story your data tell about treatment effectiveness, patient experiences, and performance relative to peers. We will also introduce new 2026 FoRSE deliverables – the Data Dashboard and Custom Reports. Finally, this session will introduce this year’s “inventory” approach—a structured, “fact-finding and fact-facing process” designed to learn what insights are most valuable to providers and to inform the continued development of FoRSE tools and reports through quarterly Member-to-Member (M2M) virtual collaboratives.
