Description

The NMHDS stores data about Veterans who are treated for PTSD in specialized outpatient PTSD programs located in 168 locations across the country. PTSD patients new to these outpatient clinics are administered a 50 item interview by a clinician. Answers are recorded onto electronic forms and transmitted by secure transfer to the Northeast Program Evaluation Center (NEPEC). NEPEC uses the information to provide programs with feedback and to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of PTSD patients. Due to the sensitive nature of the data, access is limited to a specific end user.
