Abstract
Progress feedback, also known as routine outcome monitoring (ROM), is an evidence-based practice in psychotherapy that involves the systematic assessment of patient progress to inform clinical decisions. While research supports its effectiveness in improving treatment outcomes, both patients, therapists, and organisations encounter difficulties implementing it. This review examines theories on progress feedback, its effectiveness in clinical practice, the challenges it presents, and future directions.
