There are several routine patient monitoring systems available for practitioners to consider to facilitate measurement-based care (MBC). Alternatively, many electronic health records systems, patient portals, and practice management programs offer similar capabilities, potentially on a limited scale.

While APA and the Advisory Committee for Measurement-based Care and the Mental and Behavioral Health Registry do not endorse or recommend any specific platform, below you will find information on a variety of systems that provide solutions for efficient incorporation of MBC that psychologists may wish to explore.
