Measurement-based care refers to the use of systematic data collection to monitor treatment and inform treatment-related decisions, as well to inform standards of care for mental health services.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) constitute a rich source of information on care outcomes and experiences from the patient’s perspective. Similarly, Family-Reported Outcome Measures (FROMs) and Family-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) constitute a rich source of information on care outcomes and experiences from the family’s perspective. Clinician-Reported Outcome Measures (CROMs) constitute a rich source of information on patient outcomes from the clinician’s perspective.
PROMs and PREMs, together with similar measures for families, clinician-reported measures, yield a comprehensive assessment of outcomes, quality of care and service provision.
Measurement-based care can improve outcomes by optimising interventions and promoting adherence with standards and best practices.
