Why is it important?
It offers facilities for auditing patients' records with analysis according to post code, city of residence, current medications and types of co-morbidities. The database supports clinical care of each patient by recording the profile of their difficulties including co-morbidities.
Perspectives
ADHD specialist register software should be an important part of a comprehensive ADHD service. It aids implementation of various aspects of the recent ADHD clinical guideline and incorporates a specialist database for patients with ADHD. The software supports service planning, monitoring and evaluation; facilitating epidemiological research; clinical audit and planning of individual patient care.
