Vanderbilt form - see inside. Found on Google.
Subject: Vanderbilt form - see inside. Found on Google.

It is recommended that narrow band scales be used in conjunction with questionnaires that assess social and educational impairment and screen for the presence/absence of comorbid psychiatric conditions. Tools that have been developed for efficient use by primary care clinicians in children and adolescents include:
Vanderbilt form: comprehensive form that screens for symptoms, impairment and comorbidity (Wolraich et al., 2003 [C], Wolraich et al., 1998 [C]). Available in the American Academy of Pediatrics/National Initiative for Children’s Health Quality (AAP/NICHQ) ADHD Practitioners’ Toolkit.
Combination of the Conners Scales + DSM-IV checklist + comorbidity screening
For adolescents: add Conners'-Wells' Adolescent Self-Report Scale to one of the above options.

I had never heard of this myself so I looked it up on the Internet, and it is really interesting how they do all that work ahead of time and get things rolling, and then are ready for the patient coming in. 


My thought would be Code STEMI as long as it was not in the diagnosis, and if that is the way the doctor dictated it.  If he dictated that whole thing out, then it would have to be expanded, but Code STEMI sounds good to me.

Anybody know the correct way to type this?  It's a billing code dictated in the progress notes, which is done sometimes on one of my accounts.  I've searched the web and found it spelled every way imaginable, the billers and coders board here looks abandoned, and search of boards turned up nothing. 


I'm hoping someone out there in MT Land has the answer.  Thanks!
