New substance use disorder treatment HEDIS tip sheet

CarePartners of Connecticut has developed a new HEDIS® tip sheet for the Initiation and Engagement of Substance Use Disorder Treatment (IET) measure. 

The IET measure assesses the percentage of new substance use disorder (SUD) episodes that result in treatment initiation and engagement. The best practices highlighted on this tip sheet, as well as our other HEDIS tip sheets, are intended to identify opportunities to improve patient care, implement best practices, and optimize HEDIS scores.

For the full collection of tip sheets currently available, refer to the HEDIS tip sheets page on our provider website. And be sure to look to future issues of Provider Update for new information as we continue to develop additional tip sheets.
