In 1998, USH was awarded a three-year grant from the state academic collaboration committee that provided resources for education and research in the area of outcome assessment. Since then, USH has implemented and refined an outcome management program for monitoring treatment. Although case studies for implementing outcome management programs in managed care (2), private practice (3), and public settings (4) are available, a specialized model may be necessary when working with persons with severe and persistent mental illness. Such a model might facilitate the implementation of outcome management programs by similar facilities. Accordingly, academically based researchers, USH administrators, mental health care providers, and patient advocates teamed together to review current research and experiential information and provide a case study describing the development and application of an outcome management program for a population of patients with severe and persistent mental illness. The method used to select the outcome measures is detailed in a companion article in this issue of Psychiatric Services (5). |
