Abstract

We appreciate the 2 Letters to the Editor provided in response to our article “Using Machine Learning to Match Clients and Therapy Providers: Evaluating Clinical Quality and Cost of Care¹” and the commentary on our piece. It is our hope that studies such as ours will serve as a building block for future innovation and evaluation in mental health, focused on improving not just access to care but access to the highest value care, resulting in high rates of symptom improvement at lower cost. We appreciate the opportunity to provide additional commentary and responses around the points raised by the Letters to the Editor.
