Evidence-Based Practice Meets Measurement-Based Care

Developed by Dr. Barry Duncan, the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS) is a designated evidence-based practice of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). PCOMS identifies clients at risk for dropout or negative outcomes so that a different course of action can be collaboratively charted. Seven randomized clinical trials demonstrate that PCOMS delivers in real-world settings with both better outcomes and efficiency.

As the web application of PCOMS, Better Outcomes Now improves quality of service using real-time client feedback to maximize opportunities for successful outcomes.
