Summary

Depression remains among the nation's top 10 chronic illnesses, costing over $80 billion annually; however, Measurement Based Care (MBC) is a relatively simple evidence-based intervention framework that has been shown to improve outcomes for depressed clients by identifying those who are not making progress and reducing the likelihood that clients will deteriorate in treatment. Despite the demonstrated effectiveness of MBC, the majority of community mental health counselors do not regularly assess target problem symptoms to guide their work. This study will test a standardized versus a tailored approach to implementing MBC that will include the integration of symptom monitoring capacities into the electronic health record system of one of the nation's largest not-for-profit providers of behavioral health services.
