P&M en de Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM)

NVVP-ROM

Psychotherapy & Movement uses ROM as part of its treatment protocols. Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) is used in therapeutic treatments to measure the effectiveness of the treatment given. ROM has five core functions: treatment, coaching, learning, accountability and research. The effectiveness of treatment is measured based on the severity of the problems (course of symptoms), daily functioning and the client’s quality of life. A ROM method comprises a measuring instrument, agreements made with the client regarding the method and extent of the measurements to be made, and a measurement outcome. In practice, ROM is carried out by means of one or more questionnaires, filled in at minimum at the beginning and end of treatment, and periodically in the event of long-term care. On the basis of these measurements, the therapist can then adjust the treatment in the interim.
