5.4 tailoring treatment over time: a clinical trial using measurement-based care within an integrated care pathway

Dr. David Sackett's concept of evidence-based care involves the synthesis among: 1) research evidence; 2) clinician expertise; 3) the context in which care is taking place; and 4) patient values. Integrated care pathways (ICPs) are treatment algorithms intended to bring this conceptualization to life. Our team developed an ICP for the management of adolescent depression with a psychotherapy stream and a medication stream. The ICP emphasizes the use of measurement-based care, where youth participants complete the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire every 4 weeks to guide collaborative treatment decisions.
