Mental Health Assessments
Structured Behavioral Health Screening in Your Workflow
Make behavioral health screening a consistent, usable part of every appropriate visit. TMS designs the instrument selection, administration points, scoring workflow and reporting pathway so findings reach clinicians while the patient is still in the chair.
TMS designs and manages behavioral health screening workflows. We are not a laboratory.
Consistent Screening
The same process runs for every appropriate patient, regardless of provider.
Integrated Findings
Behavioral health information sits alongside medication monitoring and other results.
Less Manual Work
Scoring and reporting stop consuming clinical staff time.
Better Care Planning
Findings are available while the treatment plan is being made.
The clinical context
Screening Is Only Useful if It Reaches the Clinician
Behavioral health screening is widely recommended across primary care, addiction treatment, pain management and mental health settings. Yet many practices still rely on paper instruments scored by hand, with results filed before they can inform care.
The gap is rarely clinical knowledge. It is workflow. Screening must happen at the right moment, score automatically, route to the provider in real time and connect to the next clinical step.
TMS builds that workflow around the instruments and visit structure your practice already uses.
TMS makes behavioral health screening operational — not theoretical.
The challenge
Why Behavioral Health Screening Fades Into the Background
Screening is recommended but rarely systematized. When the process is manual and disconnected, it becomes optional — and invisible in the clinical record.
Inconsistent Administration
Some providers screen; others do not, and there is no standard trigger.
Manual Scoring
Staff time is consumed calculating and transcribing results.
Lost Findings
Scores are filed instead of being routed to the provider before the visit ends.
No Follow-Up Pathway
Positive screens do not automatically connect to referral or treatment planning.
Documentation Gaps
The practice cannot show a consistent screening process when it matters.
Staff Turnover Impact
Knowledge of how to administer and score instruments walks out the door.
How it works
One Partner for the Behavioral Health Screening Workflow
TMS turns screening from an occasional task into a repeatable clinical process.
- 1
Population Review
We look at the patient population and what screening is clinically appropriate.
- 2
Instrument Selection
Screening tools are chosen to match the practice's population and clinical goals.
- 3
Workflow Design
Administration is placed where it fits the existing visit, not bolted on afterward.
- 4
Reporting Setup
Findings are routed to the provider with the rest of the monitoring information.
- 5
Training
Front desk, clinical staff and providers are trained on the same process.
- 6
Ongoing Refinement
The program is reviewed as the patient mix, staff and clinical priorities change.
One coordinating partner
TMS Coordinates the Moving Parts
Instead of requiring the practice to independently manage every relationship and workflow, TMS acts as the coordinating partner across the behavioral health screening program.
We are not a laboratory. We are your medication monitoring partner.
Capabilities
Built Around the Needs of Your Practice
Instrument Selection
Choose screening tools aligned with the practice's patient population.
Workflow Integration

Automated Scoring
Reduce manual work with structured scoring and reporting workflows.
Provider Routing
Deliver findings to the clinician before the visit ends.
Documentation Support
Record screening consistently within the clinical record.
Staff Training
Train teams on administration, scoring and follow-up protocols.
Referral Alignment
Connect positive screens to the practice's referral and care coordination process.
Ongoing Program Management
Adjust the program as requirements, instruments and populations evolve.
Clinical value
Supporting Earlier Identification and Better Care Planning
Structured behavioral health screening can help practices identify symptoms and risk factors that might otherwise go unaddressed. Depending on the clinical context, screening may support:
- Earlier identification of behavioral health concerns
- More informed treatment planning
- Clearer referral and care coordination decisions
- Consistent documentation of screening efforts
- Better communication between providers and patients
Screening results are one component of clinical decision-making and should be interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals in the context of the patient's complete clinical picture.
Our philosophy
Better Behavioral Health Care Starts With a Better System.
Support the Patient
Consistent screening helps patients receive appropriate follow-up and support.
Support the Provider
Give clinicians timely, organized information to inform treatment decisions.
Strengthen the Practice
Reduce administrative complexity by coordinating the people, technology and processes involved.
Technology
Technology That Supports the Workflow
TMS helps practices incorporate technology into behavioral health screening so providers and staff can more efficiently manage administration, scoring, reporting and program administration.

Two ways to run a program
Managing It Independently vs. Managing It With TMS
Managing it independently
- Multiple vendors
- Disconnected workflows
- Staff coordination
- Laboratory communication
- Technology administration
- Documentation processes
- Ongoing troubleshooting
Managing it with TMS
- One coordinating partner
- Structured workflows
- Laboratory coordination
- Technology support
- Staff implementation support
- Ongoing program management
Our role
We Are Not a Laboratory. We Are Your Medication Monitoring Management Partner.
TMS does not replace the physician or the behavioral health professional. We help connect the pieces.
TMS works alongside healthcare organizations to help manage the operational, technology, educational and coordination requirements surrounding behavioral health screening.
01
Provider
Clinical decisions
The treating healthcare professional decides when monitoring is appropriate and how results inform care.
02
TMS
Management & coordination
Program design, workflow, technology, education, documentation support and laboratory coordination.
03
Laboratory Partner
Performs the testing
Qualified laboratory partners perform and report the testing. TMS coordinates the relationship.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which instruments are used?
Instrument selection is made with your clinicians based on the patient population and the practice's clinical goals.
Does this replace a behavioral health referral?
No. Screening supports clinical judgment and referral decisions; it does not replace evaluation or treatment by a behavioral health professional.
How are screenings administered?
Administration points are designed into the existing visit or remote care workflow — in the waiting room, during the visit or through a patient portal.
Who sees the results?
Results are routed to the treating provider and any designated care team members through the TMS-coordinated workflow.
Can this integrate with medication monitoring?
Yes. Behavioral health screening is frequently coordinated alongside medication monitoring in the same practice workflow.
How do we get started?
Begin with a consultation so TMS can understand your patient population, visit flow and screening goals.
