MADRS – Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale

Description

The MADRS is a 10-item, clinician-rated scale used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms.

Special Instructions

Because it is a provider-administered measure, when assigned it will not appear in the patient’s MYIO account. Instead, it will be queued up for you to fill out when you start your next note for that patient. Or you can add it directly to any Mobile Note using the “Add a Measure” feature.
