Measurement-Based Care : How do you monitor treatment?

General Question

I just did a training for work on how measurement-based care is critical in mental health care to decrease time to treatment response, chance of deterioration while in treatment, and timely clinician directed treatment changes. It has shown to decrease cost of care. The monitoring was done via PCL-5, GAD-7, PHQ-9 every 60 days.

This made me curious if anyone here uses these or other checklists to personally to monitor your mental health? Do you use any homemade forms or have you found forms on websites to track physical symptoms for co occurring conditions? How much do you track your symptoms to share with providers and how do you keep all these notes from provider visits from being overwhelming?
