Key Quote:
"Measurement-based care has been around for a long time and only 20% of behavioral health providers adopted it.
Traditionally, these are trained clinicians. And in the course of a session with a patient, probably in the back of their mind, they’re evaluating whether an individual is improving or has worsening function.
Payers would like some numerical or standardized way of seeing the clinician’s clinical judgment. Measurement-informed care offers that."
