Master Missing Assessments
Never Forget Follow-Up Assessments Again
When you’re a busy mental health professional with many patients, it can be tough to stay on top of follow-up assessments. That’s because we’re only capable of holding a number of items in working memory. So it’s not surprising that we struggle to remember when we last assessed a patient, or which outcome measures were used. But we shouldn’t need to reopen each patient’s file to track which assessments they completed last and when. With Measurely, you don’t have to.
From one centralised location you can view which patients are due for follow-up assessment based on the time since they were last assessed. You can even send follow-up assessment assessments and reminders to your patients from the same place. This cuts down admin time considerably, and ensures you always stay on top of assessment compliance for your entire caseload.
What Happens When Follow-Up Assessments Are Forgotten?
Follow-Up assessments are crucial. Without them, both mental health professionals and patients can face undesirable consequences. These might include:
- Premature termination of therapy by patients.
- Missed opportunities to amplify referrals by sharing successful treatment outcomes.
- Neglected warning signs.
- Misreading of symptoms.
- Shortcomings in clinical audits, particularly where routine Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are mandatory.
- Absence of data on outcomes and trends within a practice.
In light of these potential challenges, Measurely provides specific features aiming to bolster compliance with outcome measures and routine evaluations.
