How easy is it for clinicians to enter the data and to use the data?
The Recovery Marker Inventory consists of only eight questions with clearly defined categories for each answer. Once a clinician familiarizes themselves with the definitions for each answer it simply takes a clinician a few moments to fill out. The same is true for the Consumer Recovery Measure. This is a 14 question survey and takes a few minutes to complete. Once a consumer becomes accustom to filling it out, it only takes moments. Once the Recovery Marker Inventory and/or the Consumer Recovery Measure are entered into the medical record the results are then uploaded to an external web-based data system.

The graphs and charts were designed to give clinicians and managers easily understandable data to track consumers’ progress in recovery over time and continue to improve their practice.
