The Australia and New Zealand Clinical Quality Registry for the Treatment of Eating Disorders (TrEAT Registry) supports clinical outcomes monitoring and reporting for people receiving eating disorders treatment. Participating services including private and public outpatient, day program, and residential eating disorder treatment centres in Australia and New Zealand. Clients at these services complete patient reported outcome measures before and throughout treatment. A feedback mechanism is employed whereby summaries of scores with norming data are sent immediately to clinicians to guide clinical decision-making. Service-wide reports are generated and benchmarked against the pooled registry data across services. Researchers use the registry to answer questions about eating disorder phenomenology and treatment. The TrEAT Registry captures clients aged 13 years and older, and all participating clients/caregivers provide informed consent for the use of their data to be included in the database for auditing and research purposes.
- Feedback to contributing clinicians
- Reported in Annual Report
- Quality assurance reports are provided to the executive of each listed clinic regularly, and benchmarked against pooled registry data. Funded research evaluations of treatment programs using the registry involve more comprehensive mixed methods analysis and reports to services, funders and governments.
- Core Set (Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire; Clinical Impairment Assessment; Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale)
- Additional PROMs included as requested by individual services or to support research.
Measures are currently under co-review with clients and clinicians, and are expected to include a measure of treatment satisfaction.
