[Staging, profiling and routine outcome monitoring]
Background:
Staging and profiling can make a valuable contribution to more effective and tailor-made treatments. In psychiatry these techniques have so far played only a very limited role. Routine outcome monitoring ROM ) may be able to alter the situation.
Aim:
To describe the criteria of a ROM-system that is ideal for staging and profiling and to find out to what extent some existing rom-systems satisfy these criteria.
Method:
The method used was to investigate to what extent the minimal dataset of the Stichting Benchmark GGZ and the ROM of the Leiden Routine Outcome Monitoring Study meet the criteria formulated in this article for an ideal ROM and provide a 'proof of principle'.
Results:
The minimal dataset of the Stichting Benchmark ggz satisfies fewer criteria than the ROM of the Leiden Routine Outcome Monitoring Study, but neither fulfils all the criteria. Nevertheless, even without adequate datasets the Leiden Routine Outcome Monitoring Study can make a useful contribution to the staging of depression and mental health in general and to the profiling of depression.
Conclusion:
ROM is an important instrument for the development of staging and profiling in psychiatry.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...
