Q‑Cog™ is our fast, digital way to spot cognitive changes, mood issues, and social risks—in one pass—so you can act early and document accurately.
What you’ll gain
- Early detection of cognitive and behavioral health concerns before they escalate.
- Whole‑person insight using a Bio‑Psychosocial lens (brain/body, mind/emotion, and social context).
- Action + documentation in a ready‑to‑code report that supports value‑based care and risk adjustment.
How it helps your patients (Bio‑Psychosocial)
- Biological (Brain/Body)
- Memory, thinking, orientation, executive function
- Pain interference, falls risk, balance and safety
- Psychological (Mind/Emotion)
- Depression, anxiety, stress burden, unhelpful thinking styles (Q‑NEG)
- Fatigue, sleep and motivation signals that affect functio
- Social (Context & Supports)
- Living alone, transportation barriers, literacy, social support
- Practical risks that drive avoidable ER/urgent visits
What to expect (simple workflow)
- Invite patients in‑office or via link/text; most complete in minutes.
- Review the structured report: clear flags, ICD‑10 mapping, and next‑step prompts.
- Act: document, counsel, enroll in BHI, refer as needed, and close care gaps.
Keys for value‑based care
- Risk adjustment & documentation: Structured findings help capture cognitive, mood, and psychosocial diagnoses with accuracy.
- Quality & safety: Flags high‑risk patients (falls, disorientation, severe mood burden) for timely follow‑up and care plans.
- High‑utilizer prevention: Q‑NEG helps identify patients likely to drive avoidable utilization so you can intervene early.
Tip: Use Q‑Cog results to trigger outreach lists for care management and to prioritize follow‑ups.
