Is It Time for a Universal Outcome Measure to Deliver on the Promises of Interventional Psychiatry?

What is it about?

Interventional psychiatric treatments offer particular promise to patients for whom our current treatments are ineffective. Routinely recording a universal outcome (and subsequently compiling and analyzing it) will help convert our clinical work into evidence to address the eligibility, efficacy, durability, and patient selection for each of these new exciting psychiatric interventions. Having these outcomes would allow us to employ machine learning and AI to develop a learning healthcare system and support the discovery and implementation of biomarkers.
