CROMIS is a mental health outcome measurement system. It's actually a system that Veterans Affairs Canada has been using in their OSI clinics. We recognize it as a valuable tool for us to be able to track the care of mental health patients.
As for what this does, patients present, and for each of their care appointments they fill in a questionnaire. We can map the results of that questionnaire on a graph and track the progress of symptomatology, because what the questionnaire measures is their symptomatology, and we know that there's a standard path that we expect patients to take with the improvement of their symptoms.
Should they not be seen to be following the path that we would like to see them follow, then we need to take a second look at what's going on with their care. It allows us the information to be able to tailor the care being provided and to more quickly adjust care if we're not achieving the effect we're looking for.
