Title: Using mental health outcome measures in everyday clinical practice.
Authors: Patterson, Pandora, Matthey, Stephen, Baker, Martin
Source: Australasian Psychiatry. Jun2006, Vol. 14 Issue 2, p133-136. 4p.
Subjects: Community mental health services, Community health services, Community psychiatry
Geographic Terms: Sydney (N.S.W.), New South Wales
Abstract: Objective: To examine clinicians’ use of Mental Health Outcomes and Assessment Tools (MH-OAT), standardized clinical measures that have been introduced in NSW. Method: Two separate studies are described, which examined the use of MH-OAT within two community child and family mental health service teams in Sydney. Results: It appears that clinicians are often not completing the clinician-rated measures and rarely were they requesting and/or following up clients to complete the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Further, while clinicians are reviewing the progress of their clients, they rarely use the MH-OAT data for this purpose. Conclusions: Clinicians’ lack of adherence to MH-OAT and use of MH-OAT data are discussed in terms of passive resistance and their possible perception that the process is largely irrelevant to the care of their clients.
