Webinar Wednesday - Continicare’s confidential app for patient mental health assessments

In any given year, 1 in 5 people in North America experience a mental health problem. Caring for patients must start with a detailed understanding of their behavioural health needs. It is a standard of practice that health care practitioners measure patients’ signs and symptoms on a regular basis. To provide an effective, economical, and scalable solution, Continicare has developed its proprietary Behavioural Health Assessment that health care providers order for their patients. The assessment system leverages clinically validated psychometric questionnaires to provide a detailed psychological report. Health care professionals can use the assessment to help diagnose, and prescribe appropriate therapy for their patients, as well as, to measure the effectiveness of their treatments.
