Verification Schedule for Contingency Management

Verification Schedule is a practitioner-only contingency management tool for practitioners who need objective checks scheduled for abstinence or another target behavior. It helps define evidence, frequency, timing, responsibility, and exception handling so incentive eligibility can be determined consistently.

When It Is Used

Use this tool before and during a contingency management intervention when incentive eligibility depends on objective checks occurring at the right frequency and with clear responsibility.

What It Tracks

The schedule tracks evidence type, timing, responsible party, planned check instances, supported status, and exception handling. It does not track incentive value, treatment goals, symptom ratings, or clinical conclusions.

History and Changes

Prospective configuration changes should preserve earlier schedule history so later review can distinguish what was planned from what occurred under each protocol version.

Does this tool decide whether a client is abstinent?

No. It defines and displays objective verification checks and their statuses; it does not infer abstinence or clinical progress from schedule data alone.

Can clients fill this out?

No separate client experience is required. The tool is practitioner-only, although a surrounding platform may show practitioner-selected verification expectations.

What statuses can be recorded?

The supported check statuses are complete, missed, invalid, unavailable, and pending according to practitioner-entered status.

What happens if required setup is missing?

A draft schedule with missing evidence type, frequency, timing, or responsibility cannot be activated until those fields are resolved.
