Use of Measurement-Based Care to Improve Children’s Behavioral Health
The Child Health and Development Institute (CHDI) recently released its Issue Brief 85: Making Measures Matter, describing how measurement-based care (MBC) can enhance family-centered care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes in children’s behavioral health services. According to CHDI, the evidence-based model is flexible enough to be used in a wide variety of settings and programs, with any population, and can be scaled to providers’ available resources, level of commitment and interest, staff identified to implement, and sustainability plan. Focused on current initiatives in Connecticut, the brief provides practical recommendations for supporting MBC implementation and overall improvements in the children’s behavioral health system. |
