“…According to Bickman (2008), providing outcome monitoring feedback to clinicians and patients is a good method of improving outcomes for individual patients. Using this method, the health status of the patient (e.g., symptom distress) is assessed frequently during therapy and therapists are provided with feedback on the patient's progress.…”

Benefits of feedback were strongest for cases that were not progressing well in short-term therapies when both the patient and therapist received feedback on the patients' progress. Contrary to previous findings, we also found a small effect of feedback to therapists and patients in long-term therapies. Feedback to both patients and therapists may be more effective than feedback to therapists alone due to implementation issues or empowerment of the patient.

“…A measurement feedback system (MFS) consists of (1) a psychometrically sound measure or measures of treatment progress and process administered frequently and systematically throughout treatment, and (2) interpreted results delivered to clinicians as timely and clinically useful feedback (Bickman 2008;Douglas Kelley and Bickman 2009). MFSs typically utilize technology for completion of measures and viewing of feedback to promote ease of use.…”

Measurement feedback systems (MFSs) are increasingly recognized as evidence-based treatments for improving mental health outcomes, in addition to being a useful administrative tool for service planning and reporting. Promising research findings have driven practice administrators and policymakers to emphasize the incorporation of outcomes monitoring into electronic health systems. To promote MFS integrity and protect against potentially negative outcomes, it is vital that adoption and implementation be guided by scientifically rigorous yet practical principles. In this point of view, the authors discuss and provide examples of three user-centered and theory-based principles: emphasizing integration with clinical values and workflow, promoting administrative leadership with the 'golden thread' of data-informed decision-making, and facilitating sustainability by encouraging innovation. In our experience, enacting these principles serves to promote sustainable implementation of MFSs in the community while also allowing innovation to occur, which can inform improvements to guide future MFS research.

“…The OQ45 has been developmentally adapted to use with children and adolescents, referred to as the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (YOQ), and has demonstrated similar incremental benefit to treatment effectiveness in the children's mental health system (Warren, Nelson, & Burlingame, 2009). Other MFS systems have been developed for the children's mental health system including the Contextualized Feedback Intervention and Training (CFIT) system by Leonard Bickman and colleagues (Bickman, 2008).…”

The increasing demands for accountability, effectiveness, and use of research in the children's mental health system places psychology in a unique and important position. Psychology practitioners are highly trained in scientific and clinical methods and possess the skills needed to implement evidence-based practices in community organisations. Moreover, psychology's central role in the increasing demand to evaluate services can help to foster the development of reflective learning organisations. The current article describes current directions in evidence-based practice in the children's mental health system and the critical role psychology can play in building more effective services. Key priorities and directions for psychology's role in children's mental health are provided.
