Overview

The Patient-Reported Outcomes & Self-Service Portal enables patients to complete health screenings, submit between-session check-ins, and view their treatment plan — all from the patient portal. Clinicians can review and incorporate patient-submitted results into clinical workflows.

For Patients

Completing a Health Screening

  1. Log in to the Patient Portal.
  2. Navigate to Clinical → Screenings (or /portal/clinical/screenings).
  3. Select a screening instrument from the dropdown:
    • PHQ-9 — Depression screening (9 questions)
    • GAD-7 — Anxiety screening (7 questions)
    • AUDIT-C — Alcohol use screening (3 questions)
    • DAST-10 — Drug use screening (10 questions)
    • C-SSRS Screener — Suicide risk screening (6 questions)
  4. Answer all questions honestly. Each question is required.
  5. Click Submit Screening.
  6. Your responses are automatically scored and sent to your care team for review.
Crisis Resources: If your screening results indicate a potential crisis, you will immediately see crisis resource information including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line (741741), and the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357).

Between-Session Check-Ins

  1. Navigate to Clinical → Check-In (or /portal/clinical/checkin).
  2. Rate your mood on a 1–10 scale using the slider.
  3. Select your medication adherence level.
  4. If you are experiencing a crisis or thoughts of self-harm, toggle the safety check switch. Crisis resources will display immediately.
  5. Optionally describe any warning signs or concerns.
  6. Click Submit Check-In.

Viewing Your Treatment Plan

  1. Navigate to Clinical → Treatment Plan (or /portal/clinical/treatment-plan).
  2. View your active treatment plan(s) including:
    • Plan type and status
    • Effective date and review due date
  3. This view is read-only. Contact your care team to discuss changes.

For Clinicians

Reviewing Patient Submissions

  2. Use the filters at the top to narrow by:
    • Status: Pending Review, Reviewed, or Incorporated
    • Type: PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT-C, DAST-10, or C-SSRS
  3. Click View on any submission to see the detail page.
