DALLAS, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenLight VitalSign6 today announced the commercial availability of VitalSign6, a suite of software tools designed to measure for and treat in primary care settings depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and other mental illnesses.

"The only way to reduce the prevalence of mental illness in our communities is to leverage our primary health care systems," said Phil Ritter, CEO, GreenLight VitalSign6. "VitalSign6 enables measurement-based care for mental illness and supports primary care clinicians in the treatment of these diseases. Research and data prove that better patient outcomes and lower overall health care costs are the results."

  • Full interoperability with electronic medical records (EMRs) of health systems that enable billing and clinic/enterprise-level performance metrics

The capabilities of VitalSign6 were developed by the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care of UT Southwestern Medical School, under the leadership of Dr. Madhukar Trivedi. Over 60,000 persons in various community and primary care settings have been screened using VitalSign6, with a dramatic decrease in patients suffering repeat episodes of depression.
