Psychlist - A palm-based psychiatric patient tracker and patient list administration system.
Psychlist is an integrated database program designed for workers in the field of psychiatry. It is primarily aimed at psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, team leaders and students in mental health but professionals in allied fields such as social work and residential care may find it useful.
The program has been designed to keep track of psychiatric patients, the state of their illness, medications and other treatments past and present, referrals which have been made and current levels of risk etc. It is fairly intuitive to use, but here are a few points which may not be quite so obvious initially:
1) Many of the selections (diagnosis, medication etc.) are made from pulldown boxes for speed of data entry. It is possible to add to these boxes (usually by clicking the plus sign next to the pulldown menu), but after entering a new field, it is still necessary to select it from the pulldown menu.
2) On the notes page, there is a pulldown menu to mark the patient as having ongoing/active problems. Patients that have been marked as such can be listed separately on the search page. Simply select "Problems require action" then click the up arrow and only those patients will display.
3) All records are automatically ordered alphabetically by last name.
4) The program has been designed around the UK system of mental health provision (i.e. it includes a page for care programme approach). I hope that this will not detract from its usefulness to psychiatrists and mental health workers from other countries. If there is enough interest, country specific versions may be produced.
