Computerization of Navy Outpatient Mental Health Clinics.

Abstract

The Navy Mental Health Information System (NAMHIS) has ben developed to meet the requirements of clinicians and administrators in outpatient Navy mental health clinics. NAMHIS captures, stores, displays, and prints relevant, complete, and standardized information so that it is immediately accessible. Timely reports of patient consultations, management data, and medical audit and utilization review procedures prescribed by medical quality assurance and accreditation programs are produced by the system. The Computer Stored Ambulatory Record (COSTAR) software has been modified to serve for automation of NAMHIS and accommodate the necessary data elements of Navy outpatient mental health. (Patient Registration, Encounter Data, Patient History, Mental Status Examination, and Reporting Capability). Data collection forms have been developed, as well as standardized reports of individual patient/clinician consultations.
