CNS Vital Signs leading edge neurocognitive and behavioral health assessment technologies efficiently collects valid and reliable brain & behavioral clinical endpoints providing clinicians with valuable clinical endpoints that help inform the clinical relationship between brain function (central nervous system) and neurocognitive / behavioral dysfunction.
The CNS Vital Signs assessment platform has been rapidly custom configured and deployed in numerous clinical and research settings to aid and support clinical practice and research activities along the CARE CONTINUUM:\
Clinicians use CNS Vital Signs as a BRIEF-CORE assessment to get a rapid or immediate read on a patient’s neurocognitive status. Brain and behavioral specialists use CNS Vital Signs in combination with other valid assessments to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of an individual patient’s status and then continue using CNS Vital Signs to guide rehabilitation and patient management, track treatment or intervention outcomes, and disease progression.
CNS Vital Signs supports many recently updated neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric clinical guidelines as well as assessing neurocognition in conditions such as chemo brain, obesity, bariatric and post-surgery procedures, as well as healthy aging programs. Neurocognitive testing procedure codes are found under “Central Nervous System Assessments /Tests” category and are used with ICD-10 billing codes. Computerized neurocognitive testing procedures are clinically indicated and medically necessary when patients display signs and symptoms and/or clinicians suspect of neurocognitive and/or neurobehavioral dysfunction.
CNS Vital Signs assessment platforms enables practice efficiencies with availability on multiple computer platforms … locally testing on Laptop or Desktop computers via software application, Web-based assessments via CNSVS Online. The CNS Vital Signs assessment technologies can also be used to add efficiency to large scale screening, patient in-takes, research activities as well as everyday practice needs. The assessment platforms are HIPAA and 21 CFR 11 compliant in maintaining the secure and systematic documentation of the clinical data.
The assessment platforms are easy to configure and use in busy clinic settings. Patients usually like taking the tests and appreciate the fact that their clinician has a tool to objectively measure their neurocognitive status and systematically collect their symptom, behavioral, and comorbidity information.
The Integrated Visual and Auditory (I.V.A.) continuous performance test (CPT) is a screening tool used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures (parent and teacher behaviour rating scales, QEEG, T.O.V.A.) to assist in the screening of individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Developed by
John Sandford (psychologist) and Anne Turner (physician). It was designed to discriminate ADHD populations from individuals with Conduct Disorder and without behaviour problems and is based on the research of Chee (1989) and Connors (1994). It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of neurofeedback training or medication.
