Measurement-Based Care Professional Practice Guideline

Abstract

Question: Does the professional practice guideline (PPG) presented by Boswell et al. (2022) outline a clear path for MBC’s implementation in routine practice? Findings: Although thoroughly summarizing findings from the extant literature, the PPG fails to provide therapists and clinical administrators with actionable and practical suggestions. Meaning: To foster the implementation of MBC, an actionable and practical guideline that is perceived as accessible by therapists at all levels of training is needed. Next Steps: The first step in bridging the research-practice gap is to conduct therapist-centered, clinically relevant, and ecologically valid research.
