CMHSU: Mental Health Status, Substance Use Status and their Concurrent Status in North American Healthcare Administrative Databases

Patients' Mental Health (MH) status, Substance Use (SU) status, and concurrent MH/SU status in the American/Canadian Healthcare Administrative Databases can be identified. The detection is based on given parameters of interest by clinicians including the list of plausible ICD MH/SU codes (3/4/5 characters), the required number of visits of hospital for MH/SU , the required number of visits of service physicians for MH/SU, and the maximum time span within MH visits, within SU visits, and, between MH and SU visits.
