Description

The application of a system to deliver providers with real-time feedback on patient progress will be presented along with instructions on how to make real time feedback a part of routine practice. In addition, results showing a persistent, repetitive pattern of patient benefit and reduction of treatment failure in patients seeing providers who received feedback compared to treatment-as usual outcomes will be provided.

Participants will be provided with a Clinical Support Tool Manual that includes a Psychological test and normative data with cut scores that trigger the use of specific interventions that enhance treatment outcomes.

(1) Participants will be able to specify a positive and negative treatment outcome based on a standardized scale; (2) Participants will be able to list steps that need to be taken in order to implement an effective feedback system; (3) Participants will be able to summarize the results of providing feedback to therapists about non-responding patients and; (4) Participants will be able to use a decision tree problem solving strategy and brief psychological test to prompt changes in the course of psychotherapy.
