Measurement-Based Care (MBC) is rapidly becoming a core standard of excellence for evidence-based, behavioral health services. Organizations across North America are adopting MBC to improve outcomes, demonstrate accountability in their services, and drive care quality. This shift is being reinforced by leading accrediting bodies, with CARF now embedding MBC into its requirements. As one of the most influential accreditors, CARF’s emphasis signals the growing importance of MBC in delivering evidence-based care and measurable clinical impact.
