The Measure of Mental Health Vital Signs™
Our Measures are designed to detect change. Detecting change as a result of any intervention has been an elusive task for researchers and professionals alike. Historically instruments have failed to detect change because the measures used were designed for diagnostic or other purposes. All of our outcome measurement products are designed to detect treatment effectiveness regardless of treatment modality, diagnosis or discipline of the treating professional.
How does it work?
The OQ family of instruments are available as part of our OQ®-Analyst software product. It makes administering the questionnaires simple and easy!
- Patients can complete the questionnaire using a kiosk, a PDA device or paper and pencil. It only takes about 5 minutes to complete!
- Responses are fed directly into the software and a report is instantly created using statistical algorithms drawn from over a decade of research.
- The clinician uses the report to tailor the patient’s treatment.
- Administrators can track trends and report on treatment successes.
