By breaking measurement-based care down into steps that are easy to both understand and implement, this book underscores not only the benefit to patients but also its potential advantages at the practice level, including improving program fidelity, demonstrating value to third parties, and improving the overall quality and safety of services. Written in a style accessible to professionals across the spectrum of behavioral health care and human services, it covers how to choose appropriate measures and design a methodology; how to choose psychometrically sound scales, and how to aggregate patient data and analyze the information.
