Description
Measurement-Based Care (MBC) continues to gain traction in behavioral healthcare, requiring clinicians to use objective patient data to track the impact of care and treatment progress. Progress and outcomes data derived through standardized instruments inform treatment goals and objectives, monitor individual progress, and guide clinical decision-making. This data can also be used innovatively to enhance patient insight and improvement, and strengthen the therapeutic alliance. MBC is key to reducing treatment failure by identifying patients who are not progressing. At the organizational level, aggregated data supports quality assurance, fidelity management, and program development. This presentation will examine MBC from theoretical, individual, and systemic perspectives, its connection to the therapeutic alliance, and provide practical steps for implementing MBC effectively in clinical practice.

Presenters
Antoinette Giedzinska received her Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern California, where her training emphasized behavioral medicine, patient quality of life research, and neuropsychology. She has authored several scientific publications addressing psychological correlates of cancer quality of life, program development, and patient treatment decision-making, in addition to authoring the Clinician’s Handbook on Measurement-Based Care, recently published by the American Psychiatric Association.
As a scientist/practitioner and applied psychologist, Dr. Giedzinska’s career has comprised several achievements across the spectrum of the behavioral healthcare industry. With respect to direct-patient care, she has developed psycho-educational curricula to promote patient insight and growth; developed and implemented bioneurofeedback and applied neuroscience programs; and established comprehensive psychological profiling as part of standard care. Under her leadership, Dr. Giedzinska has also conceived, designed, and implemented effective systems of measurement-based care and outcomes initiatives for several industry leaders in addition to serving in an advisory capacity on these processes for several application start-ups.
Dr. Giedzinska is a strong advocate for those in the behavioral health care industry to incorporate and integrate measurement-based care and outcomes initiatives to evaluate patient progress throughout the treatment trajectory through ethical practice and robust methodology. Proper integration of measurement-based care into the therapeutic process serves to strengthen patient understanding of their mental health progress, deepen therapeutic alliances, promotes greater patient compliance, and advances the behavioral health care industry to meet higher standards in quality care and best practices.
