Advanced Metrics was formed to address the needs of provider and managed behavioral health care organizations around accountability and quality improvement. We take advantage of the input, knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned of people who have been working in the behavioral and mental health field for many years.

Today, our services and systems are designed and built on the most current information available regarding outcomes management, both scientifically and technologically. Advanced Metrics operates KIDnet, a web-based software system, hosted on cloud infrastructure. KIDnet is designed for the capturing and real-time reporting of data from clinicians, parents, and children. This process provides the infrastructure support needed for providers and families to understand and manage outcomes.

Each youth, along with their parent/legal guardian, participates in an initial assessment at admission to services, treatment, or intervention. Updates are collected at set intervals for the duration of the services, at discharge and post-discharge. Data elements include demographics, presenting issues (risk, problems, social factors, trauma exposure), mental health history, symptoms, diagnosis, functioning (school, family, community), substance use, and service utilization.

Advanced Metris is involved in several projects evaluating service systems to improve the quality of care for youth. As KIDnet, becomes integral to the delivery of care in community and school settings, it provides practice-based evidence, a knowledge base of effectiveness trials under clinically representation conditions, needed for improving treatment effectiveness, identifying, and adopting best practices.

We are a multidisciplinary team of professionals, each of whom brings a specific expertise and specialized knowledge base to the COMC mission. A bit cliché but none the less accurate, the success of our efforts truly hinges on our ability to communicate and create a synergistic workflow between disciplines. Advanced Metrics is an exciting place to work, where everyone’s knowledge and skills are essential to all aspects of project development and implementation. Our uniqueness stems from the work culture created by integrating technical professionals, with clinical professionals, in a research friendly environment. We all have one fundamental goal in mind…contribute to the improvement of children’s behavioral health care by bringing science to service.
