Assessing Patients with Chronic Illness

For individuals suffering from chronic conditions, preserving quality of life typically requires significant lifestyle changes. We offer practitioners a variety of assessments to help identify and address biopsychosocial factors that may influence a patient's ability to cope effectively with chronic illness and to comply with treatment recommendations.

Our well-researched instruments can help improve clinical effectiveness in treating individuals diagnosed with chronic conditions, including:

• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Stroke
• Diabetes
• AIDS
• Chronic pain

Practitioners rely on our respected assessments to help:

• Predict the patient's initial response to news of a life-threatening medical diagnosis
  
  
• Identify personal and external assets and liabilities that may affect the patient's adjustment to physical limitations or lifestyle changes
  
  
• Identify patients with significant psychiatric problems and determine appropriate referrals
  
  
• Structure post-treatment plans and self-care responsibilities in the context of the patient's social network
  
  
• Assess the likelihood of an individual's compliance with treatment plans
