Primary Care Providers
Treat Mental Illness with Confidence
With 30% of U.S. adults suffering from depression or anxiety and most seeking help from their primary care physicians (PCPs), the demand on primary care has skyrocketed. Managing patients with both physical and mental health issues adds up to 1.5 hours to a PCP's day, and traditional tools like PHQ-9 and GAD-7 don't assess all mental health conditions. This leaves PCPs overstretched and under-resourced.
Proem addresses these challenges by offering comprehensive digital mental health screenings and assessments that streamline the diagnostic process, enabling PCPs to confidently navigate mental health complexities so every patient receives the care they deserve.
The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are just part of the puzzle.
Primary care providers often rely on the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to make mental health diagnoses, but these tools only assess the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Proem completes the puzzle, offering a comprehensive, "touchless" screening and interview process for the most commonly diagnosed DSM-5 disorders. We also monitor your patients, ensuring your treatment plan is effective. And all of this can be done remotely by your patients without adding time to your already packed schedule.

Rule out disorders and identify comorbid conditions.
Roughly half of individuals with symptoms of depression or anxiety have an underlying condition like bipolar disorder or OCD. Additionally, almost half of those experiencing depression are facing a co-occurring disorder, such as SUD or PTSD. Grasping the complexity of mental health is key for diagnosis. Proem simplifies the assessment and diagnosis process, ruling out and homing in on specific disorders for efficient and accurate treatment or referral decisions.
Integrate behavioral health for additional revenue.
The U.S. faces a severe shortage of behavioral health professionals, with half its counties lacking a psychiatrist, while mental illness rates are rising according to the latest data. To tackle this, CMS and commercial insurers are encouraging primary care physicians to fill the void with financial incentives through Behavioral Health Integration and Psychiatric Collaborative Care Management models, supported by various CPT codes for incorporating mental health services into your practice.
During annual well visits, or physicals, patients complete a comprehensive electronic screener to create a mental health baseline and address concerns proactively, before the moment of crisis.
Patients with mental health complaints and high-risk individuals complete a comprehensive interview online before appointments to aid in accurate diagnosis and triage.
Regularly scheduled monitoring tools automatically follow patient progress in symptom improvement, functional capacity, and alliance with their therapy and provider.
Data from the care process is visualized on dynamic patient and management dashboards, providing actionable insight into treatment effectiveness for measurement-based care.
