Current clinical performance indicators are poorly defined in behavioral health care settings. Performance measurement is generally not focused on concurrent outcomes-based monitoring efforts that identify effective treatment practices and potential treatment failures. This session will use examples in mental health and substance use treatment to describe how to use patient-focused self-reported outcomes monitoring and practitioner feedback to inform clinical decision making and improve treatment outcomes.

      After this presentation you will be able to:

• Discuss patient-focused self-reported outcomes monitoring and practitioner feedback, and how this model can be used in clinical decision making to improve treatment outcomes.
• Describe how patient-focused self-reported outcomes monitoring can be used to develop practice-based evidence of the effectiveness of treatment approaches.
• Define how to build a favorable and effective organizational climate to support practitioner feedback that includes supervision and coaching approaches.
