| Popis: | Outcomes assessment has become an important tool in assessing the quality of health care. To date, most quality initiatives have focused on adverse events, clinical processes, and/or cost variables. Considerably less attention has been paid to indices of clinical improvement, especially from a patient's perspective and in behavioral health settings. The relative inattention given to clinical improvement is attributable to a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) a lack of consensus regarding measures of improvement, few simple methods for data collection and analysis, and an inability to provide timely feedback. In this article, the authors describe a Web-based system designed to routinely collect quality-of-life ratings from patients in outpatient behavioral health clinics, allowing for real-time feedback at the patient levels regarding clinical improvement. The system also allows for administrative evaluation of overall clinic performance. The costs and benefits of this system are discussed. |
