Measurement-Based Care: Guiding treatment and improving outcomes using the tools you already have
Original Recording Date :
Course Format
Recorded webinar.
Description:
Do you use outcome measures (like the PHQ-9) when working with clients? Do you sometimes wonder what to do with that information? Measurement-based care (MBC) is an exciting way to use outcome measures to improve psychological treatment for any mental health problem. MBC is the routine use of outcome measures to engage clients in their treatment, build the therapeutic relationship, and improve treatment effectiveness. In this training, we will provide a broad overview of patient-centered outcome measures and MBC foundations. We will follow that by providing guidance and opportunities to practice skills to provide psychoeducation, navigate difficult discussions about the therapeutic relationship, and address common challenges when doing MBC with diverse clients with complex psychosocial presentations. The training uses multiple engaging methods (discussion, role-plays, games) for learning and practicing MBC knowledge and related skills.
Learning Objectives:
- List at least three ways that measurement-based care (MBC) can support their work with diverse youth in complicated psychosocial contexts
- Describe the foundations of the four primary components of measurement-based care
- Apply MBC skills to 2 or more guided practice sessions in introducing and enacting MBC components

Ruben Martinez, PhD
Ruben G. Martinez is a clinical psychologist working to improve large systems of care for youth experiencing mental health problems. His research sits at the intersection of clinical and implementation sciences, and his research is heavily informed by his clinical experiences. Dr. Martinez's implementation research focuses on implementing and optimizing measurement-based care and other Evidence-Based practices (EBPs) through practical implementation methods, His clinical research relates to the therapy process — the behaviors and processes that happen in therapy that lead clients to change and improve — particularly in EBPs such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
Dr. Martinez is passionate about teaching and clinical work. He earned his PhD at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020 and completed his predoctoral residency and postdoctoral fellowship at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. While not currently practicing, he has experience working across multiple levels of care — from primary care to inpatient psychiatric units. He mainly specializes in the treatment of childhood anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe and co-occurring psychiatric issues. Clinically, he teaches about measurement-based care, culturally compassionate anxiety treatment, case conceptualization, Evidence-Based assessment, and iatrogenic medical trauma. He frequently gives invited didactics and has served as a clinical and adjunct instructor in psychiatric and university settings.
