Measurement based care in schizophrenia-Feasibility in routine clinical practice.

Measurement based care in schizophrenia-Feasibility in routine clinical practice. Asian J Psychiatr. 2020 Feb 11;49:101954 Authors: Dinakaran D, Sreeraj VS, Venkatasubramanian G Abstract Measurement based care (MBC) implies the utilization of structured objective scales/batteries in the assessment and monitoring of an illness. Patients with schizophrenia with heterogeneous presentation would potentially benefit better through MBC. Time constraints and additional work burden are frequently cited as barriers in implementing objective assessments. In this selective review, the authors discuss the available standard scales for assessment in schizophrenia, the advantages and disadvantages in implementing MBC and a feasible approach to overcome the barriers by adapting shorter versions of structured scales.
