Patient Evaluation
Assessment of patients’ psychiatric health
Patient evaluation is provided to help clients understand their condition and determine the types of treatment they can benefit from. Clients’ health issues and medical history are also assessed here. This information can also assist us in prescribing medications for our clients while taking into account medications they are taking for other health issues. Clients may be asked to complete paper and pencil questions, psychiatric tests, and an interview as part of their evaluation. The assessment results can be used to guide psychiatric health professionals and other healthcare providers in developing a comprehensive care plan to meet the client’s needs.
