Customize Settings by Department and Location

You can screen patients for different problems in each department and/or by each health center location.

Screening Age

You can set the minimum age for each screening tool. For example, you can screen patients age 0 years and older for tobacco exposure, screen patients age 9 years and older for alcohol use, and screen patients age 12 years and older for depression. The screening age for each tool is your choice.

Screening Frequency

You can set how frequent patients are screened. For example, you can screen patients one (1) time each year for tobacco use and alcohol use, but screen them every visit for depression and domestic/intimate partner violence. The screening frequency for each tool is your choice. The settings for each tool include annually, quarterly, bi-monthly, monthly, and every visit.

Visit Report

Screendox creates a real-time list of patients who screen positive for the behavioral health problems (screening tools) you select in system settings. Screendox creates a Visit Report that you can use as a standardized protocol for delivering evaluation, intervention, and referral services.

Patient Management

Screendox knows when a patient needs to be screened based on each department’s customized settings. Staff members no longer have to keep track of which patients need to be screened.

RPMS and NextGen

Screendox interfaces with the Indian Health Service (IHS) Resource Patient Management System (RPMS) and NextGen EHR systems. Screendox electronically exports screening results to these EHR systems without manual data entry.

Behavioral Health Report

Screendox automatically creates a Health Screening Report for each patient that shows what questions they were asked, their answers, the score of the standardized tool, and gives an intervention recommendation.

Screening Results by Problem

Screendox generates a real-time Indicator Report that displays the total number of positive and negative screens by problem and severity level. The report can be generated by the number of unique patients or total reports, individual location or all locations, and date range.

Screening Results by Age

Screendox generates a real-time Screening Results by Age Report that displays the total number of positive screens for each problem by severity level and by the age groups you create. The Screening Results by Age Report can be generated by the number of unique patients or total reports, individual location or all locations, and date range.

Screening Results by Sort

You can select a behavioral health problem by severity level, location, and date range and Screendox will display a list of patients (by name, date of birth, and location) who screened positive for the problem(s) selected. You can use the Indicator Report by Sort for case planning and management.

Drug Use Results by Age

If you use the drug use screening tool (DAST-10), Screendox will generate a real-time report that displays the primary, secondary, and tertiary drugs used by patients. The report can be generated by the number of unique patients, age groups, individual location or all locations, and date range.

Patient Demographics

If you use the Patient Demographic tool, Screendox will generate a real-time report that displays the demographics reported by patients. Demographics information collected by Screendox include gender, race, tribal affiliation, residence "On" or "Off" a reservation, county of residence, education level, marital status, sexual orientation, and military experience. The report can be generated by the number of unique patients, age groups, individual location or all locations, and date range.

Visits Outcomes

If you use Visit Management, Screendox will generate a real-time Visit Outcome report that displays the treatment actions delivered, referral recommendations made, discharges, and follow-ups. The report can be generated by the number of unique patients, age groups, individual location or all locations, and date range.

Follow-Up Outcomes

If you use Follow-Up Management, Screendox will generate a real-time Follow-Up Outcome report that displays the number of unique patients who attended their follow-up visit or who were scheduled a new follow-up visit. The report also displays the types of follow-up visits recommended, the number of patients who accepted or did not accept the recommendation, and the reasons patients did not accept the follow-up recommendation. The report can be generated by the number of unique patients, age groups, individual location or all locations, and date range.

GPRA Standards

Screendox is based on the IHS GPRA standards. Screendox uses the GPRA calendar year (October 1 to September 30) to determine when patients need to be screened. It also uses screening questions and tools that meet IHS GPRA reporting requirements. Screendox exports the screening results to the exact tables in the EHR that are required for IHS GPRA upload to the National Data Warehouse.
