PREVENTION OF TREATMENT FAILURE: The Use of Measuring, Monitoring, & Feedback in Clinical PracticeFebruary 19, 2010
McCleary Auditorium, St. Alphonsus Reg'l Med Center1055 N. Curtis Boise, ID 83706 ABOUT THE WORKSHOP (Click here to download registration brochure) Participants will be provided with examples of a variety of brief assessment instruments that are used in clinical practice. The emphasis will be on measures such as the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories, Brief Symptom Inventory, for adults; as well as the Achenbach Child Behaviour Checklist, Ohio Scales, Youth Outcome Questionnaire and related measures for Children. An emphasis will be placed on scales that measure degree or intensity of disturbance, rather than diagnostic or treatment planning scales.
The application of brief assessment tools that deliver providers with real-time feedback on patient progress will be presented along with instructions on how to make real time feedback a part of routine practice. In addition, results showing a persistent, repetitive pattern of patient benefit and reduction of treatment failure in patients seeing providers who received assessment feedback compared to treatment-as-usual outcomes will be provided. The presentation will address a variety of psychological interventions as well as applications related to monitoring the effects of psychoactive medications. Participants will be provided with a Clinical Support Tool Manual that includes psychological tests and normative data with cut scores that trigger the use of specific interventions that enhance treatment outcomes. Application for both adults and children will be addressed. Participants will be able to specify a positive and negative treatment outcome based on standardized scales.
Learning objectives:
1) Participants will be able to specify characteris-tics of brief measures that are essential.
2) Participants will be able to list steps that need to be taken in order to implement an effective feedback system.
3) Participants will be able to summarize the results of providing feedback to providers about non responding patients.
4) Participants will be able to use an assessment-based decision tree/problem solving strategy and brief psychological test to prompt changes in the course of psychotherapy for off-track cases.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Michael J. Lambert, Ph.D., holds the Susa Young Gates University Professorship at BrighamYoungUniversity teaching in the Clinical Psychology program. He has been in private practice as a psychotherapist throughout his career. His research spans 35 years and has emphasized treatment outcome, process, and the measurement of change. He has edited, authored, or co-authored 9 academic research-based books, and 50 book chapters, while publishing over 175 scientific articles on treatment outcome. He is co-author of the Outcome Questionnaire, a measure of treatment effects that is growing in popularity. He has given over 200 presentations across the world.
Dr Lambert received the BrighamYoungUniversity’s highest honor for faculty research, the Maeser Award, in recognition of his cumulative research accomplishments. He was the recipient of the Distinguished Psychologist Award from Division 29 (psychotherapy) of the American Psychological Association (APA). In 2003 he was the recipient of the Distinguished Career Research Award by the Society of Psychotherapy Research for his lifetime contributions to research on professional practice. He recently completed a 5-year appointment as Associate Editor of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, making editorial decisions on 100 manuscripts per year. In 2004, he edited Bergin and Garfield’s Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change, the most authoritative summary of the effects of psychological treatments. He is also the author of an upcoming book published by APA: Prevention of Treatment Failure: The Use of Measuring, Monitoring, and Feedback in Clinical Practice.
His current program of research focuses on reducing treatment failure and non response through the use of brief assessments of client progress. Research on the consequences of cutting edge technologies has shown that patients whose progress is likely to lead to treatment failure can be identified before treatment ends, and that speedy feedback to clinicians and patients can reduce failure by two-thirds when combined with the judicious use of decision tools and related interventions.
