Major (ICD-10) Depression Inventory
“The Major (ICD-10) Depression Inventory (MDI) is a freely available screening tool for major depression distributed by the World Health Organization. It is used as both a depression rating scale and as an ICD-10 compatible questionnaire for diagnosing major depression according to DSM-IV criteria.
This form is an adaptation of the MDI designed as a self-administered questionnaire. You can either complete the form with the patient, or the patient can complete the form alone in the examination room. The system will safely lock out the patient from the rest of the EMR system if you use the ‘View Form’ menu item. If you would like to use this form to track the severity of the patient’s symptoms, the value on the form can be graphed as ‘MDI’ or plotted on a flowsheet using the Numeric Vital ‘@MDI’. The DSM-IV diagnosis of major depression is applicable when the patient meets at least five of the nine DSM-IV symptoms (questions 4 and 5 are considered to be the same symptom), and when the first two symptoms are both present (low mood and interest). A patient is considered to have a symptom when the score is at least ‘most of the time’ for questions 1-3 and ‘slightly more than half the time’ for questions 5-10. Keywords: Major Depressive Disorder, dysthymic dysthymia”

Palliative Performance Scale v2
“The Palliative Performance Scale version 2 is a tool to measure performance status in palliative care.
The PPS may be used for several purposes. First, it succinctly describes a patient’s performance status, allowing physicians to communicate the amount of support a patient may need. Second, it may be used to quantitatively assess a patient’s progression over time. Third, it appears to have some prognostic value. The score is assigned a value ranging from 100% to 0, in increments of 10%. This implementation attempts to guess the ‘best fit’ of the score by choosing the lowest score selected on the form. Physicians are free to override this score using their clinical judgment of the true score. The Palliative Performance Scale version 2 (PPSv2) tool is copyright to Victoria Hospice Society. It replaces the first PPS published in 1996 [J Pall Care 9(4): 26??32]. Reference: Anderson F, Downing G, Hill J, Casorso L, Lerch N. Palliative performance scale: A new tool.

International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS)
“‘A symptom index for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was developed and validated by a multidisciplinary measurement committee of the American Urological Association (AUA). Validation studies were conducted involving a total of 210 BPH patients and 108 control subjects. The final AUA symptom index includes 7 questions covering frequency, nocturia, weak urinary stream, hesitancy, intermittence, incomplete emptying and urgency. On revalidation, the index was internally consistent (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.86) and the score generated had excellent test-retest reliability (r = 0.92). Scores were highly correlated with subjects’ global ratings of the magnitude of their urinary problem (r = 0.65 to 0.72) and powerfully discriminated between BPH and control subjects (receiver operating characteristic area 0.85). Finally, the index was sensitive to change, with preoperative scores decreasing from a mean of 17.6 to 7.1 by 4 weeks after prostatectomy (p < 0.001). The AUA symptom index is clinically sensible, reliable, valid and responsive. It is practical for use in practice and for inclusion in research protocols.’

Then, at the bottom of the Edit Reminders Dialog, choose the Family Medicine Toolbar to show as a custom form. You can customize the toolbar for your own shortcuts using the PSS custom form editor. For each shortcut, change the Click Event property to point to the desired resource. e.g.: stamp(“”mystampname””) insertForm(“”my custom form name””) viewForm(“”my custom form name””) showURL(“”www.cognisantmd.com””) showFlowsheet(“”my flowsheet name””) showGraph(“”BP””)”
