We Measure Treatment Outcomes

Muir Wood Adolescent and Family Services strives for the best treatment outcomes for each client and family it serves. Because every teen we treat has different needs, Muir Wood psychiatrists, nurses, clinicians, care coordinators, teachers, and other staff work toward positive individual outcomes by delivering excellent treatment that yields the best results in the time we have with our clients. 

Muir Wood uses sophisticated outcome measurement tools that meet or exceed Joint Commission standards to ensure that our treatment produces positive outcomes for clients and achieves a high level of parent and guardian satisfaction with the Muir Wood treatment experience. 

The outcome measures shown below use Muir Wood client data collected and analyzed by Trac9 Informatics, a behavioral healthcare outcome measurement company whose mission is “…to provide gold-standard assessments and custom predictive analytics to improve the efficacy of treatment.” Trac 9 assists with Joint Commission accreditation requirements under standard CTS.03.01.09 and CARF requirements under the 2018 Behavioral Health Standards – Section M.2, M.4-5. In addition, family satisfaction information uses data supplied by Muir Wood client parent and guardian post-treatment surveys.

Outcome Measures

Overall Treatment Effectiveness

Client-reported data collected by Trac9 shows that Muir Wood treatment results in better outcomes compared to the national average of treatment providers. Significant differences can be seen in numerous measures that suggest clients are better able to manage their conditions, feel better about themselves, and are experiencing less severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress than before receiving treatment. This outcomes data represents reporting after four weeks of treatment at Muir Wood.
