- Does the patient see the mental state examination?
- No. The summary the patient takes home prints the diagnosis, the plan, the medicines, the review date and the safety plan. The mental state examination, the risk rating and the clinician's note stay on the clinic's record, and a clinic that wants a full clinical copy switches that on in its settings.
- Can a psychologist or a therapist use it without prescribing?
- Yes. A therapist records the history, the scales, the session and the plan, and a therapy visit opens on the session rather than the examination. The prescription step is there for whoever holds the prescription permission.
- Which rating scales are built in?
- PHQ-9, GAD-7, WHO-5, DASS-21, PSS-10, K10, ISI, AUDIT, EPDS, PCL-5, GDS-15, PSC-17, PHQ-A, CRAFFT, ASQ, SCARED (child and parent) and CRIES-13, each scored with its own severity bands. PHQ-9 and GAD-7 and most of the adult scales are available in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu as well as English.
- What happens when a patient screens high risk?
- The level is derived from what is recorded, a high level puts a banner on every step of the consult, and the safety plan with Tele-MANAS 14416, 112 and 108 is part of the record and of the patient's summary. Nothing is decided by the software: the clinician rates the risk and can override the derived level with a reason.
- Is it ABDM compliant?
- Patient records link to ABHA numbers, and clinical records are kept in FHIR R4, the format ABDM exchanges. Sharing records through the ABDM gateway is switched on for each facility.
- How long does it take to go live?
- Usually within a week. We set up departments, doctors, fees and the scales with your team, import your patient register from a spreadsheet, and train the front desk, nurses and doctors in a few hours.
