Abstract

Problem

Despite their relevance to assessment and clinical decision-making in behavioral health, measurement tools are still rarely used in clinical settings. With an increase in undiagnosed and untreated mental health problems in children and adolescents, a southeastern US Community Health System was the ideal setting for the implementation of a behavioral health assessment tool.

Methods

This quality improvement project was conducted to address the question: “Among mental health clinicians at the Community Health System, will the use of the DSM-5 parent/guardian-rated level 1 cross-cutting symptom measure 6−17 (CCSM) improve diagnosis and treatment choices of children with mental health conditions, over a 4-week period?” A convenience sample was recruited from among behavioral health counselors working at various out-patient clinics and school-based counseling sites in the Community Health System. After nurse-led training on use of the CCSM, including a PowerPoint intervention and individual coaching sessions, the five clinical participants were encouraged to use the CCSM screening tool on their patients presenting for mental health assessment. Knowledge of the tool was assessed using a pre- and post-training survey. Completed screening tools were collected from participants over the 4-week duration of the project.

Findings

A chart audit comparing the project period with the previous year showed an increase in diagnosis and treatment in 6−17 year-old patients at the outpatient clinic.

Conclusions

This project demonstrated the usefulness of the CCSM for behavioral health assessment in the child/adolescent population at the Community Health System and supported use of the intervention in other clinics.

在社区心理健康诊所实施 DSM-5 家长/监护人评定的 6-17 岁儿童一级交叉症状测量法
问题 尽管测量工具与行为健康的评估和临床决策息息相关,但在临床环境中仍很少使用。随着儿童和青少年未诊断和未治疗的心理健康问题的增加,美国东南部的一个社区卫生系统成为实施行为健康评估工具的理想场所。 方法 该质量改进项目旨在解决以下问题:"在社区卫生系统的心理健康临床医生中,使用 DSM-5 家长/监护人评分的 6-17 级交叉症状量表(CCSM)能否在 4 周内改善对患有心理疾病儿童的诊断和治疗选择?我们从社区卫生系统各门诊诊所和学校咨询点的行为健康咨询师中招募了方便样本。在经过护士指导的 CCSM 使用培训(包括 PowerPoint 干预和个别辅导课程)后,我们鼓励五名临床参与者对前来进行心理健康评估的患者使用 CCSM 筛查工具。培训前和培训后的调查对工具知识进行了评估。在为期四周的项目期间,我们收集了参与者填写的筛查工具。 研究结果 对项目实施期间和上一年的病历进行比较后发现,门诊中 6-17 岁患者的诊断和治疗率都有所提高。 结论 该项目证明了 CCSM 在社区卫生系统的儿童/青少年行为健康评估中的实用性,并支持在其他诊所使用该干预措施。
