The importance of scalable, evidence-based clinical assessment instruments in forensic psychiatry

Abstract

Seamless assimilation of a new generation of rapid empirical instruments within forensic mental health services would free up clinicians’ time to focus on compassionate, patient-centred care, by replacing cumbersome outdated instruments, which add little to services (37,38).

It would also offer the opportunity to improve care through the application of reliable, meaningful data (39).
