Full Product Description

Psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals can use the BSI instrument to measure patient progress during and after treatment to monitor change. BASI also provides outcomes measurement for treatment programs and providers through aggregated patient information.

Benefits

  • Assess patients at intake for psychological problems.
  • Objectively support care management decisions.
  • Measure patient progress during and after treatment to monitor change.
  • Provide outcomes measurement for treatment programs and providers through aggregated patient information.

Features

The BSI instrument provides an overview of a patient’s symptoms and their intensity at a specific point in time.

  • Takes 8–10 minutes to complete, making it well–suited for repeated administrations over time to evaluate patient progress.
  • The Global Severity Index helps quantify a patient’s severity–of–illness and provides a single composite score for measuring the outcome of a treatment program.
  • The reliability, validity, and utility of the BSI instrument have been tested in more than 400 research studies.
  • Nine Symptom Scales are scored: Somatization (SOM), Obsessive Compulsive (O–C), Interpersonal Sensitivity (I–S), Depression (DEP), Anxiet (ANX), Hostility (HOS), Phobi Anxiety (PHOB), Paranoid Ideation (PAR), and Psychoticism (PSY).

Includes three Global Indices: Global Severity Index (GSI), Positive Symptoms Distress Index (PSDI) and Positive Symptom Total (PST).

Sample Reports

Interpret Report: provides a narrative overview of the client’s symptoms at the global level and specific statements describing the individual symptom scale scores.
