CentralReach Celebrates Innovation, Collaboration, and the Future of Outcomes-Based Care at the 7th Annual CR Unite Autism and IDD Care Conference 

Dr. Frazier provided perspective on how advancements in data and decision-support tools can help clinicians better align treatment goals with meaningful outcomes, emphasizing that effective assessments should capture what matters most to the individual, family, and care team. Offering an industry-wide lens, Dr. Nemecek underscored the importance of standardized, technology-enabled metrics to improve transparency, reduce variability, and support payors in evaluating care quality and value. From the employer perspective, Dr. Schneider shared insights on how meaningful outcomes data empowers plan administrators and self-funded employers to make informed coverage decisions, ensuring that ABA services demonstrating measurable impact continue to receive support. Together, the panel reinforced the importance of measuring progress in ways that resonate not only clinically but also in terms of quality of life for individuals and families. The panel concluded with a shared perspective: better assessments drive better goals, better plans, and when combined with a robust, video-based clinical process, will materially increase the quality of care across the industry.   

“As we look to the future of autism and IDD care delivery, transitioning to an outcomes-based care approach that is based on standardized, assessment-driven measures that define tangible progress for learners across the spectrum is essential,” says Sullens. “This standardized quality measurement will raise the bar of care for those receiving services, providing financial rewards for providers that exceed those quality standards and remove the burdensome operational expense needed to root out fraud, waste and abuse today for both providers and payors. Technology is the key to solving this issue in a scalable way and, as the panelists all pointed out, with its acquisition of AI.Measures and SpectrumAi, CentralReach is the only platform that can provide this solution for the autism and IDD care market. It’s an exciting time for the industry, and I’m proud of our team for their relentless focus on innovation that is driving its agentic transformation.” 

Sullens also previewed exclusive findings from CentralReach’s forthcoming Autism and IDD Care Market Report during the keynote. Set to be released publicly soon, the report equips providers with data-driven insights to better understand how their organizations compare to the broader market, identify opportunities for business and clinical improvement, and ultimately strengthen outcomes for the individuals they serve.
