Abstract
Measurement-based care (MBC), a mechanism through which feedback is given to providers and patients, is increasingly being used in mental health care and has a number of benefits. These include providing information about treatment progress, encouraging a discussion around these topics, providing a method for shared decision-making and personalized treatment, and improving treatment outcomes. Although there are many benefits to using MBC, it is still not being used regularly. Barriers include time to administer measures and uncertainty regarding which measures to administer. This paper will briefly describe MBC and its use in mental health care and then will focus on the use and implementation of MBC within the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA). The VHA is a large healthcare system in which there have been ongoing efforts to implement MBC. Suggestions for successful implementation will be discussed.
