Foundations for an Objective, Scalable Approach to More Effectively Meet Patient Needs
It’s an eternal quest of the behavioral health care provider: How can you recognize at the very earliest when a patient’s treatment is no longer working or when there is a backslide, so you can intervene most quickly?
One solution many behavioral health organizations are turning to these days is Measurement-Based Care. Measurement-Based Care is an objective, outcomes-focused process that tracks and measures a patient's mental health over time. Having a clear, concise quantification of a beginning point and progress in mental health treatment, when applied consistently, can not only identify which interventions are most effective, but also make it easier for caregivers to communicate changes in mental health status among multiple care providers and across settings of care, as is desired with a collaborative care model.
What will the rise of Measurement-Based Care mean for how your organization approaches behavioral health?
