ASAM Clinical Case Scenarios for Providers - Module 2

ASAM Clinical Case Scenarios for Providers - Module 2

Updated: March 2024
On-Demand Module

Overview

This 30-minute intermediate, on-demand module covers risk ratings, interactivity between dimensions, level of withdrawal management, level of care, and additional services added to their level of care placement.

This module is part of an intermediate 20 online modules (rolled out throughout 2022) that test providers on their understanding of The ASAM Criteria and how it is applied to real-world influenced cases in order to help providers become more versed in utilizing The ASAM Criteria. Each scenario introduces an individual who is either entering substance use disorder (SUD) treatment or continuing SUD treatment. The learner must determine certain aspects of each individual’s treatment and align them with ASAM’s peer reviewed rationales. The learner will be guided to key concepts in The ASAM Criteria textbook if they have trouble understanding the scenario’s highlighted principles. All modules will be available to learners as a full 10-hour course or can be taken individually to fill learner knowledge gaps in The ASAM Criteria topics. 

The target audience for this module includes: counselors, social workers, administrators, and other clinical staff who have taken The ASAM Criteria Foundations course and would like to test themselves on The ASAM Criteria.

This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Medical Knowledge and Systems Based Practice. 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, learners will be able to:

1. Apply The ASAM Criteria multidimensional assessment to develop a patient's level of care placement.
2. Analyze the information given in the multidimensional assessment to determine the severity and risk ratings in each of The ASAM Criteria dimensions. 
3. Evaluate the dimensional interactions and how they affect the dimensional admission criteria and risk rating severity presented within the patient's multidimensional assessment. 
4. Review the level of care placement for the patient and respond to situational factors involving the patient's care and utilization review.
