About the Report: Timeframe & Methodology

This performance summary is based on Spring Health’s Candela Provider Quality Dashboard, a proprietary measurement system that evaluates providers across both operational and clinical benchmarks. The two reporting periods covered in this article span December 2024 through May 2025 and January through June 2025, offering a rolling six-month view of Clifford Churchill’s performance.

Candela compiles and analyzes a wide range of data, including:

• Operational metrics such as timely completion of clinical notes, continuity of care for high-acuity clients, progress tracking, and utilization of measurement-based care tools.
• Clinical outcomes including improvement rates for depression and anxiety, aggregated into an overall clinical improvement score.
• Case mix analysis through the High Acuity Case Ratio, reflecting the proportion of clients presenting with more complex mental health needs.
• Patient experience data gathered from therapeutic alliance surveys after each session.

Each metric is benchmarked against the performance of thousands of providers in the Spring Health network. Providers are assigned a percentile ranking for each measure, with points allocated toward an overall score. This score determines eligibility for Spring Health’s incentive program, which rewards top performers in the network.

By combining objective outcome measures, operational reliability, and patient feedback, Candela delivers a comprehensive, data-driven portrait of a provider’s impact—making Clifford’s top percentile placement all the more remarkable.
