266 - Expanding Our Clinician's Treasure Chest - Creating a Toolkit of Screeners and Rating Instruments PD PI
1.25 credits - Room: Mandalay Ballroom KL
Rakesh Jain, MD, MPH, Director of Psychiatric Drug Research, R/D Clinical Research Center, Lake Jackson, Texas
Saundra Jain, PsyD, LPC, MBA, Executive Director, Mental Health Educational Initiative, Lake Jackson, Texas

Both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric clinicians tend to underutilize screeners and rating instruments in their busy practices. This is an error worth rectifying expeditiously for the following reasons: use of screeners and rating instruments can actually improve outcomes, it can be very time efficient and many quality tools are available for no charge. This workshop will show videos of a few clinical scenarios and discuss what tools might have been appropriate to use. Copies of noncopyrighted screeners and rating instruments, appropriate for both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric settings, will be made available to participants. A toolkit filled of screeners and rating instruments will be brought to the workshop to show participants how they can create one for their own use.

By participating in this activity, attendees will be able to:

  1. Recognize the many noncopyrighted tools available for clinician use covering a range of psychiatric disorders;
  2. Define these tools that are very time efficient and improve diagnostic yield; and
  3. Describe how to choose the right tool and how to score them.
