Abstract
Psychiatric information systems, methods and computer program products include an emergency room module, an outpatient module and a scales module. The emergency room module is configured to capture psychiatric information concerning emergency room visits by psychiatric patients, including psychiatric assessments, as discrete data elements. The outpatient module is configured to capture psychiatric information concerning outpatient visits by psychiatric patients, including psychiatric assessments, as discrete data elements. The scales module is configured to capture direct data entry of psychiatric scales as discrete data elements. A database repository also is included that is configured to store the discrete data elements that are captured by the emergency room module, the outpatient module and the scales module. The emergency room module, the outpatient module and the scales module are configured to capture the discrete data elements using at least one dialogue box. A dialogue box is a computer display window that contains a form or checklist to be filled out, and can include text boxes, regular list boxes, drop-down list boxes, check boxes, and/or sliding controls. Accordingly, traditionally text-based psychiatric information may be captured as discrete data elements, using dialogue boxes, to thereby allow the discrete data elements to be stored, queried, mined and/or otherwise used as discrete data elements of a database.
