Clinicians and patients in Canada are willing to utilize measurement-based care (MBC) and technology-enhanced MBC (eMBC) to improve the management of depression. However, barriers to implementation include perceptions about efficiency, ease of use, and accessibility.
Background: Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based approach that can improve management of depression, but its use in clinical settings remains low. The use of digital technology, or technology-enhanced MBC (eMBC), may address some of the barriers to implementation of MBC by enabling patients to easily complete outcome assessments. This study aims to identify the perceived facilitators and barriers to MBC and eMBC from both patient and provider perspectives in Canada. Methods: The study recruited 108 clinicians and 131 patients with a self-reported diagnosis of depression to participate in an online survey about the acceptability of both MBC and eMBC. Results: Most clinicians (90/108, 83.3 %) agreed that MBC is important for clinical judgement, and felt trained to interpret their scores; however, only 43/108 (39.8 %) use MBC routinely. Clinicians (95/108, 88.0 %) felt they would be more likely to use MBC if it was automated and available to use electronically. Most patients (117/131, 89.3 %) felt MBC would be helpful for their treatment and were willing to use a mobile app to track their symptoms. Limitations: Recruitment was done online and, hence, this study may not capture the perspective of patients who are not already familiar with using online programs to complete questionnaires. Conclusions: Clinicians and patients in Canada would be willing to utilize MBC and eMBC in their psychiatric care, but barriers to implementation include perceptions about efficiency, ease of use, and accessibility. These results highlight the importance of engaging both clinicians and patients to effectively implement MBC and eMBC for depression.
