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. 000008052 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008052 650__ $$aDiagnosis$$017684 000008052 650__ $$aVeterans$$027802 000008052 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000008052 650__ $$aAttention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity$$015204 000008052 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000008052 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000008052 7001_ $$aLohse, Patrick$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008052 8564_ $$9bede0907-5801-427f-8af6-6e9118a51c0f$$s325406$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8052/files/Lohse.Patrick.2020.pdf 000008052 905__ $$a/rest/prod/z8/90/rt/76/z890rt76j 000008052 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8052$$pstudent-work 000008052 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
