MHCD’s Evaluation and Research Team has created
an evaluation system for adult recovery/mental
wellness where we explore recovery from multiple
perspectives.
MHCD’s Recovery Committee, a group of consumers,
practitioners, and other stakeholders,
instructed and advised the Evaluation and
Research team in the development of four
instruments to evaluate the degree to which
Recovery happens at MHCD:

The
Recovery Marker Inventory (RMI) tracks
people’s progress in eight areas usually
associated with, recovery and is completed every
quarter by the clinician/case manager. The eight
domains evaluated include: symptom management,
active growth orientation, participation in
services, housing, employment, self-education,
and substance abuse.
The Consumer Recovery Measure (CRM)
is completed by the consumer every quarter. The
consumer rates their perception of hope, safety,
symptom management, social network, and active
growth.
In the Promoting
Recovery in Mental Health Organizations
(PRO) consumers rate the extent to which
six different types of professionals promote
recovery (i.e., therapist, case manager,
psychiatrist, nursing staff, rehabilitation
staff, residential staff and front desk staff).
The rationale for this breakdown is based on the
assumption that different types of staff will
promote recovery in a different manner.
The Recovery Needs Level (RNL) is
a Utilization Management (UM) tool which was
created based on two critical tenets: (1)
consumers do recover from mental illness and
will need varying levels of services over their
life span, and (2) better use of resources
requires that we provide the right level of
service at the right time.
