Measurement-Based Care (MBC) is a clinical process that includes repeated measurement to monitor treatment progress and to inform collaborative treatment planning over the course of integrated behavioral health care. Join CFHA’s Measurement-Based Care Workgroup to learn about what MBC is in behavioral health care and integrated primary care, strategies for implementation in daily practice, and tips to help you be at the forefront of this change in service delivery in your organization. The MBC workgroup will present practical strategies and scenarios based on their work creating CFHA’s position statement on Measurement-Based Care and Report on MBC in Integrated Care.
