    • What Is Measurement-Based Care?

      Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based practice that consists of the routine administration of client-reported outcome measures and the clinicians’ review of resulting data to inform ongoing treatment. [1]

      1

      Measure

      Patients take a short self-assessment before each treatment session.

      2

      Review

      Clinicians view real-time feedback reports to guide treatment.

      3

      Improve

      Leadership reviews outcomes data for quality improvement.

    • What are the benefits of measurement-based care?

      Patient-centered care

      Patients appreciate receiving feedback [2, 3]. MBC contributes to client-centered care by promoting better communication, greater understanding of issues, and improved engagement in treatment. [4, 5]

       

      On average, no-shows dropped from 23% to 18% over the first six months of a customer using Mirah.

    • Better Sessions

      Evidence suggests that clinicians who use feedback technology respond more quickly to concerns raised by their clients [6]. With the enhanced responsiveness, clinicians can more effectively celebrate treatment gains and pivot to address new concerns or worsening of symptoms.

       

      In user surveys, 75% of clinicians found Mirah to significantly inform and improve treatment plans.

    • Improved Outcomes

      In addition to improving treatment effectiveness, promising research indicates that the use of measurement-based care may also result in increased efficiency of care, defined as lower average duration and cost of care. [7, 8]

       

      Mirah customers have demonstrated improved mental health outcomes to leadership, payers, and state funding agencies, helping to win grants and unlock higher reimbursements.
