Why PsychScan
Simple screening is not adequate
Using a simple screening measure like the PHQ-9 looks at a single depressive symptom rather than the psychological state of the patient. A false-positive wastes time, a false-negative hurts the patient and even when correct, you don't know what is causing the depression and have potentially missed issues that are not comorbid with depression. Using the PHQ-9 is not good clinical practice but accepted because better solutions like PsychScan have not been implemented.
Clinically necessary
The discipline of Behavioral Health came about to bridge the gap between Primary Care and Mental Health. The psychological state of the patient needs to be monitored using comprehensive and actionable information to support everyone's work flows and processes. PsychScan provides this information. When compared to a PsychScan solution, the current practice of simply screening depressive symptoms is relatively ineffective for clinical support and needs an upgrade to a better standard-of-care.
Seamless integration
PsychScan is effectively an AI tool that automates the psychological portion of a clinical interview. The information gathered is self-report from the patient and instantly available to Primary Care, Behavioral Health and Mental Health staff and clinicians. Being electronic the information can automatically be added to your EMR/EHR. To streamline the work flow further you can also automatically initiate PsychScan when scheduling. Integration saves time and cost, and just works better.
PsychScan In Practice
Primary Care
PsychScan screens and dynamically assesses behavioral and mental health information in any Primary Care clinic or telehealth setting, more effectively supporting everyone's processes.
Behavioral Health
Screen and perform an initial assessment before a warm handoff even occurs. Primary Care only hands off when required and you can start therapy in the moment when it is most effective.
Online Therapy
Use PsychScan to support therapy, remotely performing an initial assessment before the first session and track progress monitoring severity scores and differential changes in symptoms.
Outpatient Psychology
Connect through your EMR to initial assessment information including suicidality and dangerousness. Track progress through severity scores and differential changes in symptoms.
EAP
Along with using PsychScan in clinics, proactively use your data to find employees that are at risk and reach out or add them to a registry for periodic screening and assessment.
Recruitment & Triage
Ideal for teletherapy, offer PsychScan screening and assessment on your organizations website to engage, recruit and automatically triage patients based on their level of need.
