Comorbidities

The Comorbidities Tool allows you to generate for any patient a report in relation to any of:
just one disorder (eg Separation Anxiety of Childhood)
a chosen family of disorders (eg the Anxiety disorders)
all disorders in the system (except where “no” appears in the In Comorbidities Report column of the disorder dropdowns)
The Word report is opened – and saved automatically in the patient’s Case folder, with a file name on the pattern
Comorbidities_000134
in which 000134 is the patient’s system ID written as six digits.
Each time you generate a comorbidity report the results are appended to the existing document – so always go to the end of the document to find the latest material.
Open the Comorbidities Tool in one of two ways:
click Comorbidities summary in the Case Manager
or press <Ctrl + Shift + T> (think of T-ool)
Choose the patient for whom a report is required.
Click an option button to select reporting on a Disorder group, a Disorder, or All disorders.
Unless reporting All disorders, choose required Disorder group or Disorder.
Click the Report button.
The Comorbidities summary has from one to many rows, depending on the choices you make in the Comorbidities Tool. The following notes apply in all cases:
Anxiety
Generalised anxiety disorder
yes
Anxiety
Agoraphobia
no

Criteria met? says whether diagnostic criteria are met or not. Definite outcomes, both positive and negative, are possible even where there are unanswered questions. A ? means that the outcome could go either way, depending on how the Qs to do are completed – so it’s important to answer them.
To find and answer any omitted questions, revisit the interview and select the appropriate Route – you can then use the Route Explorer to jump to each red question mark.
