Learning Objectives
Incorporate measurement-based care into treatment for psychotic disorders
CME Background
Articles are selected for credit designation based on an assessment of the educational needs of CME participants, with the purpose of providing readers with a curriculum of CME articles on a variety of topics throughout each volume. Activities are planned using a process that links identified needs with desired results.
CME Objective
After studying this article, you should be able to:
- Incorporate measurement-based care into treatment for psychotic disorders
Statement of Need and Purpose
Use of MBC in mental health care lags behind its use in medicine overall, and data on using MBC in treating psychotic disorders are particularly sparse. Although subjectivity and context should continue to inform clinical decision-making in psychiatry, education on the current actual use of outcome measures for psychosis treatment could help guide practitioners to better quantify—and clarify—desired treatment outcomes for their patients with these disorders.
