Abstract
Background: Measurement-Based Care, supported by Measurement Feedback Systems, is increasingly recommended to improve psychiatric care. Indeed, such approach offers valuable support for the development of precision medicine by enabling data-informed treatment grounded in collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and patients. However, its implementation in clinical settings remains limited. Methods: We present a Measurement Feedback System integrated within a research protocol and implemented in a hospital detoxification unit for patients with Severe Alcohol Use Disorder. Capitalizing on the presentation of a clinical case and preliminary patient evaluations, we describe the benefits and limitations of such an approach. Results: The findings highlight the high acceptability of the tool among patients and underscore the added value of incorporating a Measurement-Based Care framework into standard care in addictive disorders. Conclusion: This approach facilitates precision medicine through rich patient phenotyping, enhances clinical reflection, and helps to bridge the research-practice gap.
