Health policies in the United States and elsewhere are moving to increase accountability of health care systems and providers for providing high-quality, efficient care and driving application of evidence-based improvement strategies. To support these efforts, a "quality measurement industrial complex" has been created to develop, endorse, and apply quality measures that incentivize these behaviors. Parallel to this development in mental health care is an emerging commitment to include recovery orientation approaches in treating serious mental illness. However, consumers have been only tangentially involved in quality assessment and improvement strategies of the mental health services that they are receiving. This Open Forum aims to advance the conversation about how to integrate recovery into mental health care quality assessment cohesively and how to involve consumers in this process in a more meaningful way.

Traditional methods for management of mental illnesses in the post-pandemic setting can be inaccessible for many individuals due to a multitude of reasons, including financial stresses and anxieties surrounding face-to-face interventions. The use of a point-of-care tool for self-management of stress levels and mental health status is the natural trajectory towards creating solutions for one of the primary contributors to the global burden of disease. Notably, cortisol is the main stress hormone and a key logical indicator of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis activity that governs the activation of the human stress system.
