Measurement-Based Care
It has been said that most of the world will make decisions by either guessing or using their gut. They will be either lucky or wrong. Measurement- based care utilizes objective data to track the impact of care, treatment, or services to patients. While relatively new to the behavioral health care field, Measurement-based care will help providers determine whether the treatment is working and facilitate treatment adjustments, consultations, or referrals for higher intensity services when patients are not improving. Today, more than ever, it is absolutely critical that treatment professionals collect and respond to patient data.
