AB  - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a challenging diagnosis to make in adults for a variety of reasons. Among these are the significant symptom overlap between ADHD and other common psychiatric disorders, as well as the high abuse potential of first line medications used to treat it. An ADHD-specific outpatient clinic was recently created within a local Veteran's Health Administration mental health clinic in order to improve the diagnostic process for veterans displaying ADHD-related symptoms. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to work with providers in both the referring and ADHD clinics in order to develop a new screening and referral tool that could be efficiently utilized by referring providers and would provide valuable screening data to the ADHD clinic.
