“…Concerning outcome measures, some issues have been pointed out as relevant to defining clinical utility. Slade, Thornicroft and Glover (1999) describe feasibility as the extent to which a measure "is suitable for use on a routine, sustainable and meaningful basis in typical clinical settings, when used in a specified manner and for a specified purpose" (p. 245). On the other hand, Fitzpatrick, Davey, Buxton and Jones (1998) refer to feasibility as "the extent of effort, burden and disruption to staff and clinical care arising from use of an instrument" (p. iv), hence proposing a definition based on the practical aspects from the clinician point of view.…”

“…Acceptability concerns client's willingness and ability to comply with the administration procedures. It addresses the level of adherence and its facilitators or barriers, namely the clarity of the structure and instructions, length, appearance and legibility of the measure, emotional reactivity in respondents, respect for client values, culture, personal preferences and health status (APA, 2002;Bowling, 2005;Fitzpatrick, et al, 1998;Slade, Thornicroft, & Glover, 1999). Finally, generalizability refers to the range of applicability of a given instrument across different settings.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of project...

“…Whether pre-post or concurrent outcome management is favoured, several obstacles to its implementation have been highlighted (Smith et al, 1997;Marks, 1998;Salvador-Carulla, 1999;Slade et al, 1999). Deciding on the criteria for assessing success is not straightforward.…”

“…According to Ellwood (1998Ellwood ( , p. 1551, outcomes management ideally "consists of a common patient-understood language of health outcomes". Routine outcome measures should be both valid and feasible: a feasible measure should be brief, simple, relevant, acceptable and valuable to its users (Slade et al, 1999). Each of the questions concerning quality of life, treatment satisfaction and needs for care are brief, simple and relevant to users' concerns (cf.…”

SUMMARYThree issues characterise the background to the MECCA study: A) Throughout Europe, most patients with severe forms of psychotic disorders are cared for in the community. The challenge now is to make processes in community mental health care more effective. B) There are widespread calls to implement regular outcome measurement in routine settings. This, however, is more likely to happen, if it provides a direct benefit to clinicians and patients. C) Whilst user involvement is relatively ?" easy to achieve on a political level, new mechanisms may have to be established to make the views of patients feed into individual treatment decisions. The MECCA study is a cluster randomised controlled trial following the same protocol in community mental health teams in six European countries. In the experimental group, patients' subjective quality of life, treatment satisfaction and wishes for different or additional help are assessed in key worker-patient meetings every two months and intended to inform the therapeutic dialogue and treatment decisions. The trial tests the hypothesis that the intervention – as compared to current best standard practice – will lead to a better outcome in terms of quality of life and other criteria in patients with psychotic disorders over a one year period. This more favourable outcome is assumed to be mediated through different treatment input based on more appropriate joint decisions or a more positive therapeutic relationship in line with a partnership model of care or both. Moreover, the study will hopefully reveal new insights into how therapeutic processes in community mental health care work and how they can be optimised.

The feasibility of routine outcome measures in mental health

Abstract: If mental health care is to maximise outcome, then more attention needs to be paid both to the process of developing and to facilitating the routine clinical use of feasible outcome measures.
