The document describes the development of a strategic outcomes measurement tool for opioid dependence care. It discusses results from expert surveys that identified a need for improved and more comprehensive outcome measures. It then outlines key elements that should be measured, including treatment engagement, health status and risks, work status, and criminal activity. Metrics in these areas were validated with experts using a Delphi consensus process, which showed strong agreement that these metrics would appropriately measure outcomes in opioid dependence care.
