Abstract

Feedback-informed treatment (FIT) is practice-based evidence (PBE), a form of evidence-based practice (EBP) that is the gold standard in behavioral healthcare. FIT, developed by Scott D. Miller and his colleagues, is a formalized PBE method. Therapists can easily implement this feedback method by administering the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and the Session Rating Scale (SRS) within a two minute period at the beginning and end of each session. These instruments have moderate validity and high reliability. This feedback process has consistently demonstrated improved therapy outcomes and reduced dropout rates, while alerting therapists to real time changes required, for improved outcomes. This practice innovation project (PIP) was an initial FIT training and installation involving eight therapists in an urban Midwestern outpatient mental health agency. Results supported current FIT evidence, demonstrated strategies for implementing EBP and emphasized the need for creating a culture of feedback.
