Telepsychiatry practice Quintessence Psychiatry recently adopted a clinically validated diagnostic tool to change the patient care workflow: Mentavi Health’s clinically validated asynchronous Diagnostic Evaluation for adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessments, an alternative to a structured clinical interview. These assessments are reviewed by a clinician and returned in approximately 5 days, frequently after patients complete the evaluation at home in 60 to 90 minutes. Psychiatric Times sat down with Barry K. Herman, MD, MMM, Mentavi Health’s chief medical officer, to learn more about the Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation and ADHD assessment as a whole.
