Description
Summary:This paper covers an internet-based clinical assessment, decision and information tool and its empirical support. The implementation of this tool within a clinical training program and outpatient clinic is presented and its clinical application discussed. The focus is on the effects of continuous psychometric assessments, feedback, and a decision support and information tool that is designed to facilitate treatment adaptation. The decision support tool is based on research on tracking and predicting individual change using early response and continuous and discontinuous patterns of change within as well as between treatments. The developed personalized adaptation tool is discussed in relation to implications for practice and future research. Este artículo aborda una herramienta clínica de evaluación, decisión e información basada en Internet y su apoyo empírico. Se presenta la implementación de esta herramienta y se discute su aplicación clínica dentro de un programa de capacitación para pacientes ambulatorios. Se centra en los efectos de las evaluaciones psicométricas continuas, la retroalimentación, y una herramienta de apoyo e información para la toma de decisiones diseñada para facilitar la adaptación del tratamiento.
