Incorporating and representing consumer, clinician, and additional stakeholder input into mental health outcomes can be a difficult task, but is necessary for optimal development, analysis, and dissemination of findings. In order to overcome these difficulties MHCD has implemented several policies to ensure a holistic development of recovery outcome measures by incorporating multiple stakeholders. The incorporation of stakeholders' input early on in the measurement development process and continuing through implementation of the tools allows many issues to be easily resolved, including internal and external validity, and reliability. The current paper will review this process of incorporating stakeholders in all areas of outcomes evaluations, including issues that can make the process much easier to implement system-wide.
