Measuring patient outcomes is crucial in providing a quality service which is safe, effective and responsive. At Riverdale we use a range of measures to inform us about the impact, effectiveness and acceptability of the services we deliver.


Examples of core measures we use include,


The Verona Service Satisfaction Scale
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service User Satisfaction Survey
Essen. Climate Evaluation Schema
The Illness Management and Recovery Scale
The Family and Friends Test
Patient Centred Care Survey
Eating Disorder Evaluation Questionnaire
Eating Disorders Quality of Life Scale
Beck Youth Inventory
Patient Health Questionnaire
HONOS & HONOS-CA
Children’s Global Assessment Scale
Facilitated Exit Interviews on Discharge


Our clinical effectiveness is demonstrated through a recent paper published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
