Description
Summary:The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service (CAPS) at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) provides in-clinic consultation and telepsychiatry services for the North Atlantic Regional Medical Command. To facilitate the enrollment of new patients, the Department of Telemedicine and CAPS developed a secure Web-based Automated Mental Health Intake System (WAMHIS) to replace the traditional paper-based intake system. Parents/guardians were able to complete intake forms online days before the initial appointment in their home or at work allowing providers to access and review the completed forms well in advance of the appointment to prepare for the interview.
