Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) and Feedback: Research Review and Recommendations

Figures & data

Figure 1: Example of feedback graph with clinical support tools. Note: The screenshot shows the symptomatic progress of a patient measured with the Hopkins-Symptom-Checklist-11 (HSCL-11) within the clinical navigation system by Lutz et al. (2019); A: Individual measurement points for the patient measured at the beginning of each session; B: Dynamic failure boundary; C: Expected treatment response curve; D: As soon as the patient’s HSCL-11 score exceeds the failure boundary (marked in the graph with an arrow), the therapist receives a warning signal (top right corner); E: CSTs are divided into five domains. The exclamation mark indicates the domains in which the patient has specific problems. The therapist is able to click on these icons to gain access to the activated tools. The check mark signals that the patient has few or no problems in the respective domain.
