Clinical Use of the SCIP

The SCIP generates diagnoses according to DSM/ICD systems and provides reliable and

validated scales for various conditions, including generalized anxiety, obsessions, compulsions,

post-traumatic stress, depression, mania, delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thoughts,

aggression, negative symptoms, alcohol use, drug use, attention deficit, hyperactivity, anorexia,

binge-eating, and bulimia. Clinicians use the guidelines provided in the SCIP instruction manual

(link) to diagnose adult mental disorders. They also utilize the SCIP scales to assess the severity

of these disorders, monitor remission and exacerbation, and make informed clinical decisions,

such as hospital admissions, discharges, and adjustments to medications or the initiation of new

treatments.


The SCIP is the only tool specifically designed from the outset as a measurement-based care

(MBC) tool to be used by clinicians in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings for

assessment and decision-making.

The SCIP Process

How does the SCIP process work?

The SCIP provides state-of-the-art assessment of adult psychopathology. Mental health professionals can use the SCIP to diagnose and treat patients in psychiatric settings (inpatient or outpatient) by following these steps:

1. Read

Review the SCIP Instruction Manual and the Measurement-Based Care (MBC)

Instruction Manual.

2. Interview

Conduct an interview with the patient.

3. Diagnose and Generate Dimensions

Generate DSM/ICD diagnoses and measure the severity of the disorder(s) using the SCIP scales.

4. Decision Making

Make treatment decisions (such as hospital admission, discharge, medication changes, and initiating new medications) based on all data gathered using the SCIP tool.

5. Follow-up

Monitor the patient's psychological symptoms, signs, and dimensions over time, and make treatment decisions based on the data collected during follow-up appointments.
