Summary: "The Clinician's Handbook on Measurement-Based Care is a must read for behavioral health care and human services clinicians and leaders who aspire to lead their practice and organization into a successful and prosperous future. This book provides the "how to" information for using measurement based-care (MBC), the critical component to delivering high-quality, high-value care, treatment, and services. Utilizing advanced training and extensive experience in clinical psychology and program leadership to guide the reader through the journey of embracing MBC in a practical manner, the authors help readers to overcome their fear of implementing MBC by breaking it into steps that are easy to understand and presenting compelling reasons to use it, in partnership with each patient, to improve therapeutic alliance, reinforce patient progress, and improve clinical outcomes. The Clinician's Handbook outlines the steps necessary to aggregate clinical data and analyze this information to improve program fidelity, demonstrate value to third parties, and improve the overall quality and safety of the services provided to all the individuals served by the clinician or organization"-- Provided by publisher.
