8. How to Interpret the Data A positive Gateway, combined with significant symptom severity, provides the criteria from which the primary care physician can initiate treatment, whether it be psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, or both. E-Pscyh Today, LLC.

9. All positive screening results should lead to an additional assessment that considers severity of depression and comorbid psychological problems (e.g. anxiety, panic attacks, or substance abuse), alternate diagnoses, and medical conditions.  Patients who screen positive should be appropriately diagnosed and treated with evidence-based care or referred to a setting that can provide the necessary care. Interpretation Protocol

10. Behavioral Health Screen and Assessment This is all for the great good of Better Patent Care. Medical treatment does not always identify psychiatric disorders that can impact medical diagnoses. Oftentimes without a quantifiable, third-party review, a diagnosis may not paint a complete patient profile.This is supported by a recent Kennedy Forum brief which asserts that behavioral health is characterized by a "lack of systematic measurement to determine whether patients are responding to treatment.”* E-Pscyh Today, LLC.
