Abstract:
The author provides an overview of the new approach to clinical documentation and outcomes assessment and management that is being implemented at The Menninger Clinic as part of a larger effort to systematically study and refine the treatment provided by the Clinic. The scientific, clinical, economic, and regulatory context within which these changes are being made is discussed.

This article explicates a model for the integration of the processes of clinical information recording with clinical measurement as a means for scientifically evaluating whole clinical systems and their treatment protocols and outcomes.
