Correction to Barber and Resnick (2022)

Reports an error in "Collect, Share, Act: A transtheoretical clinical model for doing measurement-based care in mental health treatment" by Jessica Barber and Sandra G. Resnick (Psychological Services, Advanced Online Publication, Feb 24, 2022, np). In the original article, changes were needed to correct the unintentional omission of noteworthy work in this area and to improve clarity. In the fifth paragraph of the introductory section, the first two sentences have been edited. In addition, a full reference for Duncan and Reese (2015) was added to the reference list and text citations were added as needed throughout. All versions of this article have been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2022-35475-001). Regardless of discipline or setting, psychotherapists and other professionals working in the field of mental health care share one common goal: For the recipients of care to experience improvements that are meaningful to them. Measurement-based care (MBC) is a transtheoretical clinical process that uses patient-reported outcome measures to monitor treatment progress and to inform treatment planning and goal setting. Though ample evidence supports MBC as enhancing collaboration and improving outcomes, its practice is not the norm. One possible barrier to greater utilization of MBC in routine care is lack of consensus in the literature on what MBC is and how it should be practiced. In this article, we discuss this lack of consensus and detail the model for MBC developed by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) MBC in Mental Health Initiative. Though it is simple, the VHA Collect, Share, Act model is consistent with the best clinical evidence to date and can serve as a guide for clinicians, health care systems, researchers, and educators.
