Objective:
To address the increasing demand for assessments of Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the primary author developed a protocol for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Stanford University's Vaden Student Health Center to improve the efficiency of such evaluations.
Participants:
As part of quality assurance, we reviewed the charts of Stanford students who sought assessment for ADHD before the protocol was implemented (September 2011-June 2013) and after the protocol was established (October 2013-August 2014). An IRB exemption was obtained.
Methods:
The protocol includes questionnaires that solicit detailed clinical information from a variety of sources prior to the student's initial visit.
Results:
A peer chart review of 35 randomly selected charts showed that students completing the protocol are receiving a more thorough assessment.
Conclusion:
The new Stanford ADHD protocol, designed to improve clinic efficiency, also increases the availability of relevant clinical information.
