Screening Tool Within Note

Tebra offers a portfolio of mental health screening tools that practices can leverage to assess and track patient’s mental health and progress. For Engage subscribers, electronically send and receive screening tools prior to patient’s appointments or ask that patients complete these screening tools in-office using Kiosk.

Additionally, providers can complete screening tools with the patient within the clinical note. Screening tools GAD-7, HAM-A (clinician administered only), PCL-5, and PHQ-9 are available through the Test or Mental/Functional sections of a note. The completed screening tool is saved as a document in the patient's chart and can be reviewed from a note.
