Outcomes research for addiction & mental health treatment

Prove Your Results. Negotiate Better Payments. Attract More Patients

Treatment centers that can prove their effectiveness don’t just change lives — they grow stronger, more resilient businesses. Vista helps addiction and behavioral health centers prove your treatment saves lives and money while providing your clinicians with the data they need to help their patients get better faster.

Independent Data That Opens Payer Doors

In today’s competitive landscape, payers demand proof that your care works — not promises. Vista’s independent outcomes research gives your center the credible, data-driven story you need to secure better reimbursement rates, expand into new payer networks, and stand out from competitors.

Vista's outcomes led to over $20 million in revenues

Because Vista’s research is independent, payers view it as objective and reliable. We’ve monitored more than 130,000 patients during treatment and followed up with over 40,000 after discharge.

Vista’s Payer Summary Reports highlight the metrics that matter most to insurers, such as readmission rates, decreases in post-treatment medical spending, and patient satisfaction. Heading into a payer negotiation? Vista will produce a Payer Summary Report summarizing the outcomes for all members of that insurer at no charge.

With Vista's unprecedented ability to reach 45–60% of patients one year after treatment, Vista clearly identifies which centers are delivering the most effective care. That’s why Carrum Health is using Vista’s results to build their SUD Center of Excellence network, and why employers and families rely on Vista’s results when they’re choosing a treatment center to trust.

Provide Better Care for Your Patients. Save Your Clinicians Time

Vista isn’t just about post-treatment outcomes — it’s about improving them from day one. Our during-treatment monitoring system helps your clinicians respond effectively to patients who are struggling so they can get better faster.

Each week, patients complete a short customized online survey that provides powerful insight into their progress, motivation, and well-being:

Patient results are displayed in intuitive dashboards that help your clinicians deliver personalized, effective care by making it obvious where each patient is struggling

Because of all this, patients recover. As of today, Vista has been able to confirm that well over 11,000 patients in the Vista Research Network are in recovery one year after treatment!

Learn How Turning Point Uses Vista's Research

Do you want to join a community of treatment professionals who are fervently committed to providing every patient with the best possible chance of recovering from addiction and/or mental illness? Members of the Vista Research Network use state-of-the-art software to monitor patients during treatment and follow up with them afterwards to learn how effective their treatment was in helping them recover. Not only are clinicians able to use to easily personalize the treatment they provide, but Vista’s trailblazing data analytics platform and comprehensive research reports help owners and managers continually monitor and improve their center’s effectiveness.

Vista Research Group monitors your patients during treatment and follows up with them afterwards so you can help more of your patients recover from addiction.

Once Vista’s research agreement is signed, a 30-minute Implementation Meeting will be scheduled with your leadership team to understand how your center is structured and what data you want to collect. After this meeting, the only additional information Vista will need is a list of users needing access to the software. Vista is usually able to customize the software for a new center within 24 hours of receiving this patient list.

During online training sessions, Vista will explain why progress monitoring helps patients get better faster, demonstrate the key features of the software, discuss best practices, and answer any questions your team has.

Training videos and step-by-step instructions are available in Vista’s private community as well as in a searchable Knowledge Base. Vista also provides live phone and email support seven days a week to answer any questions new users might have.

Testimonials

As a small treatment center with a very limited budget, we hesitated to invest in Vista's outcomes research. We finally decided we couldn't afford not to, and I'm so glad we did! Vista has provided the best value of any third-party vendor we've ever used. Vista allows us to continually track client progress throughout a course of treatment, leading to enhanced consistency and quality of our client care. We are now able to objectively measure the efficacy of our treatment and work towards continual process improvement.

Having Vista’s outcomes research truly differentiated Turning Point with payers. Without it, I doubt we would have won a highly-competitive contract worth over $20 million in revenues to date.

“We’re thrilled that whenever a patient submits a new Vista survey, a PDF of their client dashboard is now being automatically imported into their record in Kipu. This is saving our staff a TREMENDOUS amount of time! Having the client surveys in the chart has also increased our documentation compliance and we've received positive feedback from our state and national regulators."

In addition to how useful Vista’s real-time data is in treating patients, it’s also been very helpful in getting additional days of treatment approved. When I’m doing doc-to-doc reviews, the doctors don’t care about things like whether the patient is going to meetings or acting a certain way. They want proof that additional treatment is medically necessary, which is exactly what Vista’s assessments of depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidality, etc. provide. Vista proves medical necessity.

AToN Center has been using Vista’s outcomes research for over six years and we have found the feedback invaluable. Vista informs our treatment planning and alerts us to residents that require immediate intervention. Using Vista Research allows us to have objective data in order to compare our results with other treatment centers to monitor our effectiveness. The credibility and transparency that Vista Research’s Group brings to substance use disorder treatment is critical to allow consumers to make informed decisions about their care.

Our first Treatment Effectiveness report contains a tremendous amount of good information and insights to be gleaned to inform our performance improvement process. After years of gathering surveys and being unable to figure out how to turn the data into useful insights, it’s very exciting to see it all come together. We also love the supplemental clinician effectiveness report. Kudos to Vista!
