Zusammenfassung	The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) is a brief, standardized self-report measure of how satisfied clients are with the human services they receive, most commonly used in its eight-item form, the CSQ-8. Developed by Daniel Larsen, C. Clifford Attkisson, and colleagues in 1979, it produces a single satisfaction score that programs use as a consumer-perspective indicator of service quality, complementing outcome measures by capturing whether clients found the service helpful, of good quality, and worth recommending.	Routine outcome monitoring (ROM), also called measurement-based care, is the practice of repeatedly administering a validated outcome measure throughout a course of treatment and using the resulting data to track each client's progress, compare it against an expected recovery trajectory, and adjust care when a client is not improving as predicted. Pioneered in psychotherapy by Michael Lambert's patient-focused research and now standard in behavioral health and social work, it turns outcome measurement from a one-time research activity into a continuous clinical feedback loop that demonstrably improves outcomes for clients who would otherwise deteriorate.
