Clinical Measures

YMRS - Young Mania Rating Scale

Description

The Young Mania Rating Scale is a provider-administered, 11-item, multiple-choice diagnostic questionnaire which is used to measure the severity of manic episodes in patients.

Special Instructions

Based on the patient's subjective report of their clinical condition over the previous 48 hours and from clinical observation during the interview.

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.
