Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Misdiagnosis remains a pervasive issue in mental healthcare. Studies reveal alarming rates of misdiagnosis for common conditions, such as 65.9% for major depressive disorder and 92.7% for bipolar disorder. In substance abuse treatment facilities, up to 95% of individuals are misdiagnosed because their substance use is often treated as the primary issue, rather than a symptom of deeper mental health conditions.
At Honu Healthcare, we’re committed to changing this narrative. Our independent assessments provide treatment facilities with:
- Comprehensive insights into each patient’s condition
- Recommendations that drive meaningful and lasting results
- The foundation for building effective treatment strategies
The Playbook: Delivering Answers and Solutions
After every assessment, we provide patients and their care teams with a personalized “Playbook.” This comprehensive document includes:
- A detailed breakdown of testing results
- An explanation of diagnoses and why they apply (or don’t apply)
- Medication review and recommendations for adjustments, if needed
- Actionable treatment recommendations tailored to the patient’s needs
- Guidance for collaboration with psychiatrists, therapists, and care providers
The Playbook serves as a roadmap for recovery, ensuring everyone involved has the information and tools needed to support the patient effectively. It bridges gaps in understanding, reduces confusion, and empowers providers to deliver precise, effective care.
How We Work with Treatment Facilities
Our process is designed to integrate seamlessly with the operations of treatment facilities, ensuring a collaborative and efficient partnership.
Step 1: Referral and Collaboration
We begin by working with facilities to understand their patients’ needs and goals. Patients are referred to us for in-depth evaluations.
Step 2: Comprehensive Testing
Using validated tools and techniques, we assess mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and trauma-related factors that may influence recovery.
Step 3: Detailed Reporting
We deliver clear and actionable reports, including diagnoses, treatment recommendations, and insights to optimize care plans.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
Even after the assessment is complete, we remain available to collaborate with care teams to refine strategies and support long-term success for their patients.
