A Planned Care Approach and Patient Registry to Improve Adherence to Clinical Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects almost 2.4 million US children. Because American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for ADHD recommend use of standardized diagnostic instruments, regular follow-up and the chronic care model, this pilot project sought to implement and assess an electronic registry of patients with ADHD combined with care coordination by a planned care team.
