Mental Health Assessment Test

eBook: Reaching Better Behavioral Health Outcomes with Mental Health Tools

Quality Improvement and assessment for mental health disorders are implicitly linked. For instance, many healthcare providers rely on the PHQ-9 to assess patients for depression. However, this depression questionnaire is limited and does not enable providers to get a complete picture of their patients' mental health. Without the full view, providers could sacrifice the integrity of diagnoses, measurement, and, ultimately, patient progress.

This is just one example of an obstacle to early intervention and proactive care. However, Proem’s evidence-based behavioral health solutions make it easier for providers to administer a full mental health assessment online to help assess the most common diagnosed adult and pediatric DSM-5 mental health disorders — not just depression— all from a single solution, supporting support measurement-based care initiatives.

In the eBook Reaching Better Behavioral Health Outcomes with Mental Health Tools, we examine how to best select the right tools to promote accurate diagnoses. Then, we discuss the important role outcome measures play in assessing the effectiveness of care plans and promoting continuity of care considering the move to measurement-based care.

When it comes to evaluating individuals with complex conditions, it is important that we use evidenced-based resources such as nView’s diagnostic interview to accurately and precisely diagnose the specific condition or conditions that are driving the behaviors or presenting concerns. The specificity of the questions and the intuitive algorithms make it ideal for the type of work we do.

nView has become a gold standard in my practice because it helps achieve a greater degree of patient disclosure and has a high level of specificity and sensitivity in evaluating psychiatric disorders. It helps in several vital ways: by encouraging patient disclosure, identifying if multiple disorders are an issue and providing additional perspectives that can enhance the quality of outcomes.
