Feedback from Outcome Measures and Treatment Effectiveness Treatment Efficiency and Collaborative Practice: A Systematic Review

摘要

Due to recent increases in the use of feedback from outcome measures in mental health settings, we systematically reviewed evidence regarding the impact of feedback from outcome measures on treatment effectiveness, treatment efficiency, and collaborative practice. In over half of 32 studies reviewed, the feedback condition had significantly higher levels of treatment effectiveness on at least one treatment outcome variable. Feedback was particularly effective for not-on-track patients or when it was provided to both clinicians and patients. The findings for treatment efficiency and collaborative practice were less consistent. Given the heterogeneity of studies, more research is needed to determine when and for whom feedback is most effective.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10488-015-0710-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
