Client-Focused Research: New Directions in Outcome Assessment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2012
Abstract
The emergence of client-focused research has led to substantial change in the field of outcome assessment. Using the client's clinical characteristics to determine expected outcome, client monitoring assists clinicians in assessing the current treatment plan and client progress. The methodology has been shown to be effective in outpatient samples, by implementing change in real time for the benefit of the individual (Lambert, Harmon, Slade, Whipple, & Hawkins, 2005). Accordingly, the framework is an appropriate and important addition to the assessment of clinical practice.
