HiBoop will be at the Canadian Psychological Association's 87th Annual Convention in Montreal — for conversations about measurement-based care in Canadian practice.
Who's attending
HiBoop will be at CPA 2026 — the Canadian Psychological Association's 87th Annual National Convention, June 4–6 at the Westin Montreal.
CPA brings together Canada's psychology community: researchers, clinicians, educators, and practice leaders. It's one of the most relevant rooms in Canada for the conversation about measurement-based care and structured outcome tracking in psychological practice.
Why we're here
Canada's psychology community is doing serious work on outcomes measurement. Lambert, Whipple & Kleinstäuber (2018) showed that routine outcome monitoring nearly doubled clinically significant improvement rates in at-risk patients and cut deterioration in half. That research sits squarely inside the CPA community.
What the evidence also shows is that adoption hasn't kept pace with the evidence base. Patel, Jensen-Doss & Lewis (2022, PMID 33942200) found that clinician attitudes are directly associated with MBC use — and that attitudinal barriers are common, even among clinicians who support outcomes-based practice in principle. More recently, Gatto et al. (2024, PMID 39697186) documented MBC implementation in a psychology training clinic: every clinician and every client reported attitudes supporting the utility of PROMs and MBC — but youth completion rates lagged, and the biggest gap was in implementation infrastructure, not intent.
We're attending because the clinicians working through these implementation questions are attending. If you're thinking about MBC in your practice — what tools to use, how to build it into a session workflow that doesn't create friction, how to make outcome data actually useful rather than administrative — we want to have that conversation.
At the conference
This year's program spans 12 thematic areas. The tracks most relevant to clinicians thinking about practice structure include Improving and Promoting Health and Exploring Life Stages — both of which draw on outcome measurement as a core practice component.
On June 3, there's a pre-convention half-day workshop on AI in psychology in 2026 covering discriminative and generative AI, ethical considerations, and practical implications for practice — a good primer on where the conversation is heading.
The Job Fair on June 4 brings together employers and job-seeking psychologists across practice settings, and the EDI Community Connect (June 4 at 7 p.m.) is an open session on equity, diversity, and inclusion in Canadian psychology.
Come find us
If you're attending CPA 2026, reach out before the conference so we can find time. We're happy to walk through HiBoop, discuss what structured outcomes look like at your practice size, and be candid about where it helps and where it doesn't.
