Which of the following is an example of a treatment monitoring tool mentioned in the material?

• A. MyOutcomes
• B. Beck Depression Inventory
• C. PHQ-9
• D. GAD-7

Answer: (A)

Treatment monitoring tools are designed to track a client’s progress over time in therapy, providing data that helps adjust treatment and offer feedback to the client. MyOutcomes fits this role because it’s built to systematically collect patient-reported outcomes across sessions, generate trend graphs and dashboards, and alert clinicians to meaningful changes in symptoms. The other measures—Beck Depression Inventory, PHQ-9, and GAD-7—are standard symptom severity scales used for assessment or screening, typically at intake or at intervals, rather than primarily as ongoing monitoring tools with built-in feedback features. They can be used to gauge symptoms, but they don’t inherently provide the session-by-session monitoring and feedback framework described for treatment monitoring.
