How can SoftPsych Software benefit institutions like Mental Health Clinics and Hospitals?
The initial evaluation and development of a treatment program is based upon accurate professional evaluations. The evaluations take up valuable time. Initial evaluations are often done by a para professional and a follow up appointment is scheduled with a Psychiatrist or Psychologist. This process can take a week or a month depending on the waiting list. The patient often does not receive active treatment for that period of time. The evaluation itself can take up to an hour or hour and a half. Then the evaluation is either dictated or hand written and in some cases typed. A treatment plan takes additional time. This constitutes several hours of professional time. Despite this extensive evaluation time it is still not clear whether the patient met the criteria for a diagnosis. It is difficult to decipher from an evaluation which criteria were met for a diagnosis. Follow up presents the same issues. It is often not clear which criteria for a diagnosis are still met.
SoftPsych software allows you to complete a diagnosis without the professional time. A non trained professional can ask the patient to take a series of questionnaires that establish a diagnosis generally with in 15 minutes. A professional can then review the results and decide on the course of action. You have managed to get:
- Accurate diagnosis
- Criteria met for the diagnosis
- Comorbid disorders
- Computerized Psychiatric history and treatment plan
- Substantial increase in productivity
The Institution has moved to the 21st century delivery of care with the magic of software installed on your existing computers. The software also gives you the ability to edit and print results. Software can also be run on handheld devices (PDA's, Palm, Mobile phones) for the professional on the go.
How can SoftPsych software improve Psychiatric care?
Most institutions have several psychiatrists that provide care. Each psychiatrist has his/her own biases in treatment choices. Follow up by different psychiatrists can be problematic. There are no agreed upon ground rules for managing different disorders. There is no way to provide consistent care or measure progress. Some institutions have protocols to treat different disorders while most do not. Protocols are time consuming to develop and difficult to maintain.
Consider the possibility that all patients can be managed by one protocol that is instantly accessible on a computer and measurable numerical score to assess progress. Any psychiatrist can see what steps have been taken and which steps are to be taken next. Now the patients can receive care that is consistent and predictable. The psychiatrists can change but the delivery of care remains consistent and predictable.
Psychopharmacology software developed by SoftPsych allows you to accomplish all these ideals with a minimum of fuss.
