Dr. Shedler recognized that 60% of patients with mental disorders seek treatment from primary care physicians (PCPs), not mental health professionals. These patients often go undiagnosed and untreated. They suffer needlessly and contribute to rising healthcare costs.

Existing mental health screening tests were not widely used in medical settings. Dr. Shedler learned through interviews and focus groups that the tests did not meet physicians' needs. They were too time-consuming, did not integrate well into busy medical clinics, and often did not provide enough information to help PCPs make treatment decisions.

Dr. Shedler's passion to help both physicians and patients led him to develop a test that makes mental health assessment “as easy as ordering a lab test.” The QPD Panel:
  • requires no time from physicians or office staff
  • requires no training
  • assesses a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders
  • provides results in a familiar "lab report" format
  • provides specific DSM-IV diagnosis codes
  • integrates seamlessly into the workflow of busy medical clinics.
