Documenting PHQ-2 Results in Clinical Practice
Effective PHQ-2 documentation requires more than just recording a numerical score. A strong note should capture the patient's specific responses to the two core questions—interest in activities and mood—while noting the clinical significance of a positive screen. This includes documenting the patient's subjective experience and any immediate follow-up questions asked to assess risk or severity.
Aduvera eliminates the need to manually transcribe these screening discussions from memory. By recording the encounter, the AI medical scribe captures the nuance of the patient's voice and the clinician's interpretation, drafting a first pass that links the PHQ-2 results directly to the assessment and plan. This ensures that the transition from screening to intervention is clearly documented and easily verifiable via transcript citations.
