Measurement-Based Care

We use data and patient feedback to measure our outcomes and guide our treatment. Here’s how Measurement-Based Care is transforming recovery at EHN Canada.

At EHN Canada, Measurement-Based Care is changing recovery—for the better. While in treatment, our patients complete regular, evidence-based questionnaires designed to track symptoms, progress, and wellbeing over time. The data collected helps both patients and clinicians understand what’s working—and what might need adjustment—to support the best possible recovery outcomes.

Recognized for Quality Care

We’re proud to share that EHN Canada has been named as a winner of Greenspace Health’s 2025 MBC Impact Awards for achieving one of the Highest Average Symptom Improvement rates across our clients using Measurement-Based Care

Patients at EHN Canada facilities play an active role in their treatment.

EHN Canada’s Measurement-Based Care is allowing patients to play an active role in their treatment plans. We provide patients with screeners such as the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 at regular intervals throughout treatment in each session. This approach helps determine the effectiveness of treatment and allows clinicians to make necessary adjustments when one type of treatment is not working. Patients are also empowered to track their symptoms and communicate more clearly, leading to better overall outcomes.
