Abstract:
This article traces the organizational origins of measurement-based care and value-based care, identifying initiatives by policy makers, payors, and psychiatric organizations. The article argues that it is imperative for child psychiatry to take an active role in shaping implementation of these initiatives and identifying opportunities and issues unique to child mental health. Child psychiatry should actively support the development of well-validated measurement tools that have a value impact on quality and efficiency of care; realistically assess implementation processes and administrative burden; and be cautious to not have a negative impact on the vital processes of engagement of the practitioner, child, and family.
