NetSCID-5

Fewer Error and Misdiagnoses
The NetSCID-5 improves the accuracy of your diagnostic results. Please see the Validation section for more information.

Full Diagnostic Report
Electronic Health Record (EHR)-ready diagnostic reports are provided for each interview containing ICD codes and full diagnostic text, including specifiers.

Customize Your Interview
Administer the interview that is right for you and your participant/client. Users may click their way to the optimal interview by selecting only the modules they wish to administer. Patient and non-patient comprehensive interview options are also available.

Automatic Calculations
No more flipping pages back and forth to confirm that Criteria A, B, C, & D are coded “3”. The NetSCID-5 automatically prefills diagnosis items based on the relevant criteria results. The diagnosis items are still able to be changed at the clinician’s discretion.

Automatic Branching
With the NetSCID-5, you can avoid the mental exercise of translating “If X questions were asked and full criteria were not met, then go to Y” and similar statements. The NetSCID-5 branches the user to the next appropriate question based on previous user input.

Relevant Question Presentation
In the paper version of the SCID-5, many questions contain text which accounts for every contingency. The NetSCID-5 omits multiple question text options and replaces them with the only applicable question text option based on previous input.

Open-Ended Notes Feature
No need for a notepad. Interview Notes provides a place for interviewers to write notes at any time during the interview, with no length constraint. For each individual question, interviewers also have the option to add open-ended Item Notes for event-specific information, justification for responses, questions/concerns, hypotheses, etc.

NetSCID-5 Advisor
The NetSCID-5 Advisor displays messages which are dependent on the responses to the previous screen’s questions. It confirms the rendering of diagnoses and specifiers, as well as displaying those which have been ruled out, providing the interviewer with instant feedback.

Diagnosis Tracker
The Diagnosis Tracker displays all confirmed diagnoses and specifiers during the current interview, and is easily accessible from every screen.

Mouseless Operation & Touchscreen Compatible
A blue box indicates the current item selection, permitting the interviewer to use the arrow keys alone in selecting a response. This feature is particularly useful for quickly digitizing your old paper SCID responses into the NetSCID-5. The NetSCID-5 is also fully touchscreen compatible, so it can be administered using a tablet (such as an iPad) or smartphone.

Secure Access
Each user is assigned a unique login and password that is assigned permissions based on Principal Investigator/Clinic Manager-approved roles. Up to three roles can be assigned per user: Interviewer, Report Viewer, Data Downloader. All data is stored using encrypted and geo-redundant servers, and the entire system is fully HIPAA-complaint.

On-screen Summary of Progress
Need to review the response to a specific item? No problem. At the touch of a button, users can view/hide a summary box containing a tree-diagram of every question administered and their associated responses as well as each diagnosis met. Items presented in the summary box are active links that take the user directly to the item – enabling instant navigation both forwards and backwards within the interview!

Resume Interviews
The NetSCID-5 makes it easy to pick up where you left off when an interview is cut short. You can also revisit completed interviews to correct errors.

View Interview Data
All administered items, responses, item notes, interview notes and item descriptions are are optionally displayed beneath the full report. This section includes the ability to resume the interview.

Comprehensive Database

Data can be accessed anytime with the Download Data feature, and is available in a horizontal tab-delimited set of text files which may be seamlessly imported into any spreadsheet or statistical analysis program (Excel, SPSS, SAS, R, etc).
