Utilization of Routine Outcome Measurement (ROM) in Clinical Practice

This is a three-part program. First, a brief introduction to the literature on the use of routine outcome measurement (ROM) in clinical practices will address definition, benefits and limitations of using ROM in the current health-care culture that supports psychology in the integrated-care context. Secondly, an interactive component will invite participants to engage in an experiential learning on the use of ROM in everyday clinical session, followed by a group discussion. Lastly, the program will present materials on a few commonly used ROMs as well as the best practices of how to integrate ROM in clinical practices and to take advantage of the requirement related to insurance reimbursement.
