This report provides a detailed description of how and why we use outcomes, a summary of our results, and our future research directions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tView Annual Outcomes Report\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload Report\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t All Embark programs measure client outcomes using internationally and empirically validated instruments [surveys and questionnaires]. Outcomes are a tool that helps us live congruently to our values and best attune to where each client and family is on their therapeutic journey, so clients get a customized experience. This ensures a strong therapeutic relationship between our providers and those they serve.<\/p>\n At Embark, we lead the mental care industry the way in providing data-informed,\u00a0outcomes-driven\u00a0treatment because we’ve invested the time and money needed to collect data across more than 13 areas of client and family health for up to two years post-treatment. We use client data diagnostics in real time with data-driven benchmarking and best practices.<\/p>\n We collect data across all of our locations nationwide to help us understand our programs and the impact they have on families for up to two years after treatment. An example of our ongoing data collection and client outcomes for our 2022 short-term residential treatment programs is provided in the following graphics. (All scores collected between January 1st, 2020 and December 31, 2022.)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n We collect data across all of our locations nationwide to help us understand our programs and the impact they have on families for up to two years after treatment.

It guides, informs, and provides quality control for the implementation of best practices within all Embark programs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn About Our Treatment Approach\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n We welcome the opportunity to work with you and your clients to offer premier mental health treatment.

It is our purpose to Create Joy and Heal Generations; this requires lasting<\/strong> change.<\/p>\n Our clinicians, teachers, medical personnel, front-line support staff, etc., have access to cutting-edge client diagnostics in real-time. Care providers can utilize “in the moment” data to create interventions and treatments customized to the client and family. Through the use of outcomes, we meet clients and families with a servant’s heart, support the development of relationships, and ultimately, facilitate growth.<\/p>\n Below we show you how clinicians use outcomes to support families, and how program leadership is highly informed when making programmatic decision<\/p>\n Outcomes are one part of a broad framework of treatment that focuses on Neurodevelopment, Family Systems, and Experiential interventions.<\/p>\n We employ outcomes to measure client<\/strong> progress to track how the client and family is improving.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n We employ outcomes to measure how the program<\/strong> is improving<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n We employ outcomes for the purpose of research<\/strong> to inform both client and program improvement.<\/p>\n In providing care for clients and families at Embark, we are using outcomes to assess:<\/p>\n Client Safety<\/p>\n\n Client Progress & Mental Health<\/p>\n Client Family Health<\/p>\n\t The Embark outcomes platform allows us to look at client outcomes as a function of the therapist, house, clinic, or campus. Patterns may emerge in clients assigned to specific therapists, or different programs. The ability to evaluate client data, then look at groups of clients helps our programming improve.<\/a><\/p>\n\t This widespread research helps us to learn about the efficacy of outpatient and out-of-home treatment. It informs both client and program improvement plans. This research is also vital in demonstrating to insurance companies, school districts, governing bodies, etc., that the work we do is important and is helping families.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n The goal of therapy at Embark is not<\/strong> symptom reduction. Healthy outcomes are often correlated with health and healing, that is the goal. Co-regulation is the goal. Outcomes are tools<\/em> that help us reach the goal. Outcomes data allows us to ask the right<\/strong> questions. The more we know, the more curious we become, and the more questions we may have.<\/p>\n\t For example, a therapist is surprised to see a client scoring as less depressed than he was previously. \u00a0The therapist might wonder why the client is feeling better, but they are not noticing that in session. When they take a deeper look, the outcomes might suggest the client feels more connected with peers, which can lead to more questions; How is the client feeling with adults? Staff? Teachers? Therapists? Parents? That therapist can then dive further into the data to answer each of these questions. The therapist can develop a data-driven theory that can inform treatment.<\/p>\n\t The data is only useful when it is used to create a qualitative explanation or assessment, as part of a larger picture of what is happening.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tYOQ<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The YOQ has 6 domains of functioning or subscales. Each subscale is added up cumulatively to provide an overall composite score. The overall composite score provides the most holistic and accurate data on current functioning, however, subscales can be very useful in understanding growth throughout treatment. With all subscales, the higher the score, the more distress exists. The subscales are:<\/p>\n There are two versions of the YOQ used at Embark. The YOQ-SR (Self Report) is completed regularly by the client in treatment at our program. The YOQ 2.01 is completed by parents\/caregivers. It is the same instrument with the same questions but asks caregivers to respond referencing their child.\u00a0 Correlating the client’s and the parent’s responses can provide insight into how each member views the client’s stress and current progress. It provides insight into family alignment (is each member seeing the distress similarly?). It provides insight into programs on how the family system is responding to program interventions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tOQ<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The Outcome Questionnaire is the adult version of the YOQ. Because it is designed to be used with an adult population, the subscales are different, but work similarly with each subscale added together to create an overall composite score, with the higher the score the more distress. The subscales are:<\/p>\n The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is a subset of questions from the full Patient Health Questionnaire, using the 9 items that measure depression. The PHQ 9 has 9 items scoring each of the 9 DSM V depression criteria. This instrument is primarily used to monitor the severity of depressive symptoms and their response to treatment. This instrument also contains a direct safety assessment item which can give an immediate indication of some risk for suicide. \u00a0The higher the score the greater likelihood of depression, and the more severe the depression. This instrument is only administered to the client in treatment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tFICS<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The Family Interaction and Communication Scale is a proprietary instrument that is designed to measure client interaction patterns and overall communication. The items ask each client, along with caregivers, to rate their relationship and interactions with each other. The utility of the FICS is in comparing the specific items between each member of the family. This instrument can facilitate the assessment of family roles, relationship structures, alliances, and alignment between the families. It is given throughout treatment to track each member of the family’s perception over time. In adolescent programs, this is also where the client and caregivers (parents) rate their progress on Master Treatment Plan goals.<\/p>\n The FICS-S (self) is the client version. The FICS- P (Parent) is you guessed it, the parent version.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCESQ\/PESQ<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The Client\/Parent Engagement and Satisfaction Questionnaire is a standardized instrument measuring client and family satisfaction with the program. We believe that seeking parent involvement and agreement with our individual program’s approach is highly important for the best outcome for the student. It asks a set of five questions that align with the treatment team plus the Ultimate Question (“Would you recommend this program to a friend”). The five treatment team questions fall into these categories:<\/p>\n Every question is based on a ten-point scale and will be scored according to the NPS scale. With this, we will be able to measure parent satisfaction and engagement as well as better predict client and family alignment with the program.<\/p>\n\t Embark has a recommended battery of instruments for each program to utilize depending upon their population, level of care, and treatment setting. In addition to this, programs have some discretion to add instruments in accordance with Embark Policy and Procedure. For ease of utility, not all instruments are discussed on this page.<\/p>\n Our services provide your family with affordable help, when and where you need it, at the right level of care.
