Healthcare Specialties
Mental Health
Up until this point, the evaluation of a patient’s mental health has been mostly subjective. Whether a patient is making progress or not has been entirely based on what a patient discloses to a provider. As research shows, many patients are reluctant to be forthcoming with their doctors about issues such as suicidality. Mental Health Technologies (MHT) has broken the subjectivity barrier by allowing individual, as well as entire practices, data to be tracked. Once a patient has taken their designated assessments, results are not only immediately available for analysis, but graphically comparable to previous assessments taken. On a larger-scale, reports are generated to provide data on a clinic’s entire patient population. Categorizable data provides medical directors an objective perspective into the overall progress of the clinic’s patient population.
MHT allows healthcare professionals to have a patient’s psychometric assessment results prior to the clinical encounter. MHT’s automated scoring helps identify potential red flags and assists in initiating a conversation surrounding a patient’s mental health. As patients are seen over the years, their assessment history is graphed over time, showing trends of a patient’s mental health. Screening is also a great way to increase revenue for your practice. Billing for assessments can be done through E&M levels or established CPT codes.
General Practitioners
When referencing routine healthcare, an astonishing number of mental illnesses go unnoticed. 60% of previously undetected cases of depression could have been recognized had the patient been screened. Furthermore, “90% of people who die by suicide had previously shown symptoms of a mental illness”. When overall wellness encompasses mental health, why is screening patients for mental disorders not common practice?

Pain Management
Did you know that patients seeking medical attention for multiple pain points are 3-5 times more likely to be depressed than patients without pain? Patients dealing with pain are of the most underserved group of individuals when it comes to mental health. The definition of well-being, as defined by the World Health Organization, explicitly incorporates mental well-being into the state of overall well-being, along with physical and social wellness. Without a healthy state of mind, a timely path to physical wellness will most likely be hindered. Healthcare professionals dealing with patients in physical pain need to screen their patients for opioid addiction, drug use, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and suicidality.

Pediatrics
In accordance with the 2017 AAP clinical practice guidelines, about 1 in 25 youth would be classified as having high blood pressure. On a different note, according to the NAMI, a staggering 1 in 6 youth experience a mental disorder each year. The question remains why routine mental health checks aren’t apart of annual visits, parallel to respiratory and cardiovascular health.
