Plan the measurement workflow

Use these sections to plan ownership, documentation, and follow-up around validated measure materials and your program's care workflows.

Use ASI As Workflow Context

• Use ASI as multidomain SUD assessment context without reproducing forms, interview scripts, or training materials.
• Confirm access conditions and training expectations before any local implementation.

Connect Multidomain Context To Documentation

• Route ASI context into intake assessment, biopsychosocial review, treatment planning, and follow-up documentation.
• Treat reassessment timing as organization-specific and clinically reviewed.

Use ASI Access Paths

ASI can provide useful multidomain assessment context when access, terms, training, and clinical review stay connected to source materials.

Source guidance

• Use ASI access, training, and permission paths before local implementation.
• Use ASI access paths for item wording, interview materials, scoring context, and copies.

What the public references support

These notes summarize public reference material so behavioral-health teams can verify how an assessment fits their documentation process.

ePROVIDE lists ASI-5th Edition with a public-domain copyright signal, but access conditions still need review.

Use as workflow orientation while access and conditions of use are reviewed.

ASI can be discussed as a multidomain clinician-administered SUD assessment and periodic monitoring context with production terms caveats.

Use as workflow orientation while access and training conditions are reviewed.

Measurement-based-care context supports standardized instruments over the course of service.

Use as accreditation and documentation context, not clinical advice.

Outcome-measure programs should document why repeated measurement is used and avoid treating a single instrument schedule as universal.

Use this to keep measurement timing tied to program policy and clinical review.
