Background: The CAMHS Outcome Research Consortium has 44 members across Great Britain who are collaborating to introduce routine outcome monitoring into clinical practice. Methods: Members were surveyed in 2004, in order to establish a baseline against which we could measure progress. Results: Like Johnston and Gowers, we discovered a wide range of measures were being used, while a third of CORC members were sharing information with clinicians and commissioners, and were using it to develop clinical practice or services. Discussion: We discuss the constraints brought up by our members and by Johnston and Gowers, as well as recent work in relation to the development of a national CAMHS dataset.
