FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magellan Healthcare, Inc., the behavioral health division of Magellan Health, Inc. , today announced improved and measurable outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through a first-to-market, value-based collaboration with Kyo Autism Therapy, LLC, a California-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) provider..

德克萨斯州弗里斯科-（商业线）-麦哲伦健康公司行为健康部门麦哲伦医疗保健有限公司今天宣布通过首先推向市场，改善自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的可衡量成果基于价值的与加州应用行为分析（ABA）提供商Kyo autism Therapy，LLC合作。。

In October 2022, Magellan and Kyo launched their collaboration to drive meaningful and objectively measurable outcomes for children with ASD. The collaboration is based on Magellan’s value-based model intended to help providers deliver better care, resulting in improved outcomes for children with ASD and those who care for them..

2022年10月，Magellan和Kyo开展了合作，为ASD儿童带来有意义和客观可衡量的成果。该合作基于Magellan基于价值的模式，旨在帮助提供者提供更好的护理，从而改善ASD儿童和照顾他们的儿童的结果。。

Unlike psychotherapy and other behavioral health therapies, limited academic literature exists to support providers in effective ABA decision-making for treatment intensity and length of care. In addition, treatment plans are individualized and require extensive monitoring with heavy reliance on caregivers.

与心理治疗和其他行为健康疗法不同，存在有限的学术文献来支持提供者对治疗强度和护理时间进行有效的ABA决策。此外，治疗计划是个性化的，需要广泛的监测，严重依赖照顾者。

This makes it difficult for families to gauge treatment effectiveness and contributes to the rising costs of mandated ASD treatment..

这使得家庭难以衡量治疗效果，并导致强制性ASD治疗费用的上涨。。

The Magellan model intends to define standards for ABA treatment and measure progress against them. The model focuses on treatment planning and care delivery to continuously improve care for children with ASD and to support families.

Magellan模型旨在定义ABA治疗的标准并测量针对它们的进展。该模型侧重于治疗计划和护理服务，以不断改善对ASD儿童的护理并支持家庭。

Magellan aggregated data and saw improvements in members’ Vineland-3™ Adaptive Behavior scores after the first six months of the model. Seventy-four percent of members improved on the Vineland Scores in at least one of the domains of communication, daily living skills and socialization.

Magellan汇总了数据，发现Vineland-3成员的数据有所改善™ 模型的前六个月后的适应行为得分。在沟通，日常生活技能和社交活动的至少一个领域中，有74%的成员在Vineland得分上有所提高。

The aggregation of data related to clinical outcomes is paramount to securing a value-based arrangement rooted in clinical progress. Data like these provide a foundation for measurement informed care, which is essential for value-based models. Further, these improvements reflect greater collaboration between those receiving therapy, family members, the provider, payers and others who are able to provide impactful services..

与临床结果相关的数据汇总对于确保植根于临床进展的基于价值的安排至关重要。这些数据为测量知情护理提供了基础，这对于基于价值的模型至关重要。此外，这些改进反映了接受治疗的人，家庭成员，提供者，付款人以及能够提供有影响力的服务的其他人之间的更大合作。。

This approach may result in measurable improvements not only in behaviors, but also in specific medical health conditions the individual may have, resulting in quality-of-life improvements. Additionally, caregivers may also experience relevant improvements based on other metrics such as the Parental Stress Scale, as 46% report they need help managing emotional and physical stress..

这种方法不仅可以在行为方面产生可衡量的改善，而且可以在个人可能具有的特定医疗健康条件下产生可衡量的改善，从而改善生活质量。此外，护理人员还可以根据其他指标（如父母压力量表）进行相关改进，因为46%的人表示他们需要帮助管理情绪和身体压力。。

“With Kyo, we have jointly improved the quality of life for individuals accessing ABA and their families. We can more effectively identify the trajectory of the clinical pathway to ensure the individual receiving ABA therapy receives the right level of service,” said Yagnesh Vadgama, BCBA, vice president, clinical care services for autism, Magellan Healthcare.

Yagnesh Vadgama说：“与Kyo一起，我们共同提高了获得ABA及其家属的个人的生活质量，我们可以更有效地确定临床路径的轨迹，以确保接受ABA治疗的个人获得正确的服务水平。，BCBA，Magellan Healthcare自闭症临床护理服务副总裁。

“These findings will help to establish benchmarks and evidence-based practices that will drive outcomes-based programs creating a model we can follow and implement across the ABA industry.”.

“这些发现将有助于建立基准和基于证据的实践，推动基于结果的计划创建一个我们可以在ABA行业中遵循和实施的模型。”。
