We will send you notifications and text messages reminding you to complete these measures. Using this information will help us track your progress in a collaborative manner.

Studies have shown that the use of these rating scales improves how people feel and measurement-based care has been shown to improve outcomes. To provide the highest quality of care, we use these evidence-based practices.

We only monitor the app during regular business hours, so please do not use this app to communicate if you are having an emergency. If you have an emergency, please call 911 and contact emergency services immediately. This app is not designed for, and should not be used during emergency situations.

We will ask you to please use the platform to journal about your progress, send secure messages to our clinicians or staff, and more.

We may also use the platform to remind you to take medications or complete parts of your care journey. This may include sending reminders of any specific exercises or preparation/integration content you may have as a part of your plan. It’s important to always follow the instructions on when and how to take any medications and log any information we ask for as part of your treatment plan.

By becoming more engaged in your care you will be taking more control over your health. This will allow us to see which interventions work best and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

The Osmind Care Platform allows us to practice measurement-based care. What is measurement-based care? It is an evidence-based practice that comprises the systematic evaluation of your development throughout a treatment. This includes systematic administration of symptom rating scales, which helps determine clinical decision-making in a personalized manner. This approach has displayed how many studies improve clinical outcomes and helps patients get better faster.

The Osmind platform for measurement-based care follows evidence-based practices that have been advocated for by experts for many years, something we believe is very important. That said, it is vital to note that not all clinics follow these evidence-based practices. A large amount of research has shown that measurement-based care can help improve outcomes and provide a number of benefits to patients and clients. Further studies have shown that using patient-reported symptom rating scales also improves how patients feel. Furthermore, these studies show that patients prefer this approach since it gives you more control over your treatment journey, augments your communication with your provider, and makes your care more efficient. Lastly, self-tracking helps us be more cognizant of your mood, allowing us to intervene before you relapse. To learn more, click this link to continue reading: whitepaper on measurement-based care.
