New Developments in Mobile Outcomes

We are evolving our mobile outcomes and monitoring app and we have brought in a research team headed by Bruce Wampold, Ph.D. (author of the Great Psychotherapy Debate) to help us in this ongoing effort. Initially his group will help us develop outcomes metrics (e.g. effect size statistics) and decision support alerts as to adequacy of response to treatment. Longer term we hope to assess the impact of providing daily monitoring on treatment outcomes, a prospect we find pretty exciting.

Are Dropouts Crippling Your Practice?

Tony Rousmaniere, Psy.D., has described dropouts as the “invisible plague” of psychotherapy but as with many clinical issues, measurement is a problem. The dropout literature tries to identify patients who prematurely terminate but the operational definition of premature termination is quite varied. This literature does not help the practicing clinician determine if dropouts are a problem in his or her practice.
