Interactive Discussion at CASP 2026
Measuring Clinical Excellence in a Value-Based World
Join Cate Davis and Rachel Dowse for an interactive, discussion-driven session exploring how autism service providers can demonstrate clinical excellence as the field moves from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement.
As payers increasingly tie reimbursement to outcomes, organizations face a critical question: how do you measure quality at scale without compromising ethical, person-centered care? This session invites participants into a collaborative conversation about how systems-level analytics and thoughtfully governed AI can help bridge that gap.
Grounded in the CASP Practice Parameters for Artificial Intelligence Use in Applied Behavior Analysis (2025), the discussion will examine how principles such as transparency, oversight, continuous auditing, and responsible deprecation can guide ethical AI adoption within clinical and operational systems. Together, we’ll explore how data infrastructure can connect clinical quality, organizational alignment, and accountability—key requirements for success under value-based care models.
Rather than a traditional presentation, this session emphasizes active participation. Through scenario polling, small-group mapping, and live framework building, attendees will work together to:
- Identify what value-based readiness looks like in real-world ABA organizations
- Explore how analytics can support outcomes reporting and strategic decision-making
- Discuss practical, ethical approaches to using AI without losing sight of compassionate care
Participants will leave with a practical framework they can take back to their organization to evaluate current VBC readiness and identify next steps—balancing data transparency, operational sustainability, and person-centered clinical excellence.
