Description
An Accurate MSE is Essential to Discerning the Patient's True Condition
Completing the Mental Status Exam (MSE) is the most important task assumed by any behavioral health clinician. Accurate evaluation can be difficult because psychiatric symptoms often mask life-threatening substance withdrawal and/or serious medical conditions including brain tumors, delirium, head injury, diabetes, thyroid disease, etc. An accurate and efficient MSE is essential to discerning the patient's true condition, developing an effective treatment plan, and, in extreme cases, saving his or her life.
In this webinar, Tim Webb contrasts the strengths and weaknesses of tools that are commonly used for a MSE. Participants will receive important instructions on choosing the correct assessment tool and using it in an appropriate manner. Mr. Webb will also share tools that he has developed throughout his extensive career in emergency mental health.
