The pre-visit ADHD-related questionnaires cover all essential questions for an ADHD check-up visit. This includes parent and teacher Vanderbilts, screening for DSM disorders, and more. School data is essential to optimizing ADHD care and medications. Teachers can be “invited” by parents or staff to complete Vanderbilts via CHADIS with FERPA compliant online parent consent forms.

Each PST provides a tailored graphic to be shown to families, illustrating the patient’s ADHD challenges over time, facilitating discussion. The PST suggests tailored, research-supported, goals for clinicians to review with parents. Parents are sent specific suggestions for how to accomplish the chosen goals. Selected goals are also listed in subsequent PSTs, so clinicians are reminded to follow-up on progress. The 504 plan and IEP letters can be automatically generated as well as post-visit messages tailored to the parent’s goals and challenges. Printable handouts and local resources are all accessible to the parent online in the CHADIS MemoryBook Care Portal. Measure #366 (NQF 0108) Ages 6 - 12.
