TY - GEN AB - Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) in both physical and mental health. However, MBC is underutilized in community mental health, and research shows fewer than 20% of mental health providers use MBC. This project was designed to improve the current practices of not using screening tools or MBC in a local mental health clinic and to improve overall patient outcomes by implementing the MBC intervention. This project also focused on developing an educational in-service for providers - a systematic method for data collection about screening tools used, and about symptom tracking. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project aimed to provide evidence that measurement-based care is an effective method to meet patient needs and extrapolate the outcomes so that a system-wide training for all employees at this agency can be developed. Provider attitudes and some unforeseen barriers lead to the pace of the project being slowed drastically.
