Most clinical outcomes monitoring systems have relied on paper- and pencil-driven forms and/or interviews to collect information. The following article outlines some methodological and logistical problems inherent in these approaches, as well as describing the implementation of a ground-breaking new effort in how outcomes data are collected and analyzed. This computer-assisted interview approach can be less costly, provide more accurate information, allow for a broader range of questions to be addressed and even lead to a new paradigm for outcomes management programs--one that is practical in real-world settings and offers clinicians instant norms. Decision-makers in behavioral healthcare organizations can use the principles described here to develop systems tailored to their organizations' specific needs.
大多数临床结果监测系统都依赖纸质表格和/或访谈来收集信息。以下文章概述了这些方法中固有的一些方法学和后勤问题，同时描述了在结果数据收集和分析方面一项开创性新举措的实施情况。这种计算机辅助访谈方法成本可能更低，能提供更准确的信息，允许涉及更广泛的问题，甚至能为结果管理项目带来一种新范式——一种在现实环境中切实可行且能为临床医生提供即时标准的范式。行为医疗保健组织的决策者可以利用这里描述的原则来开发适合其组织特定需求的系统。
