Welcome to the Integrated Mind Institute

INTRODUCTION
Australia's National Mental Health Strategy has endeavoured to promote awareness, early detection, and prevention of mental illness.  Despite this, escalating psychiatric consultations, hospital admissions, suicides, and medication non-compliance all reflect a low percentage of successful patient outcomes.

The Integrated Mind Institute is an organisation established to support health care professionals in the practice of psychiatry and psychological medicine.

PRODUCT
The Integrated Mind Screen is a unique, web-enabled self-assessment software program. It records patients' answers to selected questions of past and current conditions, as well as family and medication history.

Like a conventional GP consultation, the IM Screen is adaptive, with positive patient responses prompting further questions to define the extent and severity of the mental health issue.   Unlike a consultation, however, the IM Screen is delivered in a private environment at the patient's own pace, eliciting more detail and contributing to a more accurate diagnosis.

DIAGNOSTIC CENTRES
Compelling business cases can be demonstrated for doctor's offices, medical centres, hospitals, diagnostic clinics and laboratories that deliver the IM Screen.

MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS
Given the complexity and magnitude of mental health disorders, accurate diagnosis, especially in the context of the primary care setting, is pivotal to successful patient outcomes.

Through the IM Screen, medical practitioners can achieve better patient outcomes, improve efficiency and increase their profits.

INTEGRATED MIND SCREEN™

The IM Screen addresses 20 DSM-IV psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, addictive and behavioural disorders.

Importantly, the test also examines the potential co-morbidity that may or may not be present with a patient. In addition, the IM Screen qualifies psychiatric disorders as mild, moderate or severe, and quantifies the severity.

DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP

The Integrated Mind Screen was developed to overcome the barriers to accurate diagnosis inherent in the conventional consultation.  Patients' fear and embarrassment, along with the pressure of the busy doctor's office, often discourage patients from revealing the truth about their symptoms.

PATIENT ASSESSMENT

In an uninterrupted environment, patients privately record their thinking, feelings and symptoms at their own pace, providing the GP with provisional diagnoses that allow the follow-up consultation to proceed with greater insight.

PROGRESSIVE, ONGOING PATIENT MONITORING 

The Integrated Mind Screen's Continuous Monitoring Facility provides the practitioner with a written and graphical "audit trail" of the patient’s diagnosed conditions, together with a record of their response to prescribed treatment and medication.
