QHSLab, Inc. Meets the Demand for Updated Mental Health Screening Recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QHSLab, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: USAQ), a company focused on providing clinicians with tools to leverage proactive, value-based healthcare solutions through emerging digital health and point-of-care technologies, validates the growing need for the Q-Scale, or “Quality of Life” Scale, a digital medicine assessment tool for screening patients who may be suffering from mental and emotional health-related issues. A recent report from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended that ALL patients under the age of 65, including children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years, be screened for depression and anxiety in their primary care appointments. USPSTF made some of the following comments:
- The independent, non-partisan group, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, recommends screenings for depression and anxiety among all patients under the age of 65.
- Primary Care Physicians and pediatricians are often under-equipped to meet the growing demand for mental health services, and need screening tools to ensure efficiency and proper diagnosis.
- QHSLab, Inc. provides primary care physicians (PCPs) and pediatricians with the digital tools to meet these proposed national mental health guidelines.
- They are often the first resource seen by patients presenting a mental health concern and can uncover an undiagnosed mental health condition.
