Evidence to Improve Care

Emerging Practice Statement: Nonpharmacological Interventions

An emerging practice statement describes an area for quality improvement that has been prioritized by the advisory committee but for which there is insufficient or inconsistent evidence in the guidelines used in the development of the quality statements. An emerging practice statement acknowledges that there is a need for evidence-based guidance to be developed in an area, but the evidence base in this area is still emerging.


The advisory committee discussed the following topics to be considered in future work: nonpharmacological treatments such as meditation, wellness recovery action planning, peer support, and spirituality.
