In order to operate in an evidence-based fashion, mental health
services rely on accurate, relevant, and systematic information. One
important type of information is the nature of the problems
experienced by recipients of mental health care, and how these
problems change over the course of time. Outcome measurement involves
the systematic, repeated assessment of aspects of health and illness,
either by service providers, service recipients, or both. From outcome
measurement clinicians and service recipients achieve a common
language whereby they can plan treatment and track progress, team
leaders and managers secure a basis to compare their services with
others and to promote quality, while policy makers and funders derive
evidence of effectiveness. This book will be an essential and
practical resource for all members of the mental health clinical team
as well as those responsible for establishing or managing services,
and directing policy.
