Description of workshop:

The application of a system to deliver providers with real-time feedback on patient progress will be presented along with instructions on how to make real time feedback a part of routine practice. In addition, results showing a persistent, repetitive pattern of patient benefit and reduction of treatment failure in patients seeing providers who received feedback compared to treatment-as-usual outcomes will be provided. Participants will be introduced to a Clinical Support Tool that can be used to problem-solve with patients predicted to have a negative treatment outcome.

Learning objectives:

1)  Participants will be able to specify a positive and negative treatment outcome based on a standardized scale.

2)  Participants will be able to list steps that need to be taken in order to implement an effective feedback system.

3)  Participants will be able to summarize the results of providing feedback to therapists about non responding patients.

4) Participants will be able to use a decision tree based problem solving strategy and brief psychological test to prompt changes in the course of psychotherapy.
