摘要：This article describes an outcomes management system, Polaris-MH, and its potential utility for supporting the Pragmatic Case Study (PCS) model for psychotherapy research proposed by Fishman. Polaris-MH is a computer-based system for assessment of adults in outpatient mental health treatment. It provides for the collection, storage, analysis and reporting of information on a patient’s clinical condition and progress. The system is grounded in research on dose-response, the phase model, and expected treatment response. This research foundation is described along with Polaris-MH development, structure, psychometric properties and clinical utility. Polaris-MH features are discussed in relation to the requirements of the PCS model.
