THE MEASUREMENT & MANAGEMENT OF CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN MENTAL
HEALTH
Once used almost exclusively by psychotherapy researchers,
clinical outcomes testing is quickly becoming a standard component
of mental health practice. JCAHO has mandated that outcomes must be
included in mental health record keeping by the end of the decade,
and the six largest managed care firms have announced plans to
begin tracking clinical outcomes. While debates over the potential
advantages and disadvantages of this move rage on, the fact remains
that all clinicians in managed care systems will soon be compelled
to incorporate outcomes assessment into their clinical
routines.
The Measurement and Management of Clinical Outcomes in Mental
Health prepares clinicians and administrators for this
inevitability. Written by a team of experts with extensive
experience in design and implementation, this timely book explores
the rationale behind outcomes measurement and offers readers
concrete advice and guidelines on conducting accurate and effective
outcomes measurement.
In the first half of the book, the authors review the conceptual
and practical aspects of outcomes management. Among the issues
receiving special attention are: the psychometrics of outcomes;
measuring patient satisfaction; implementation strategies; the role
of consumer characteristics in outcomes management, especially in
regard to needs-based planning; case-mix adjustment strategies; and
barriers to implementation and strategies for overcoming them.
The second half of the book is devoted entirely to detailed case
examples. Over the course of five chapters, the authors vividly
illustrate their approaches to outcomes management in five
different specialty areas--outpatient psychotherapy, acute
psychiatric services, community services, child and adolescent
services, and substance-abuse treatment services.
The first comprehensive guide to designing and implementing
outcomes evaluation systems, The Measurement and Management of
Clinical Outcomes in Mental Health is an important resource for all
mental health practitioners as well as mental health and managed
care administrators.
