Implementation Approach
Grupo Mentaliza has implemented a remote assessment model where psychotherapists send assessment links via email to patients. This flexible approach allows patients to complete assessments at their convenience from any location, reducing barriers to participation and enabling continuous monitoring between therapy sessions.
Data Collection Mode
Assessment links are sent directly to patients via email. Patients can complete assessments on their own devices at a time that suits them, providing maximum flexibility and convenience.
Main Purpose
The primary focus at Grupo Mentaliza is routine outcome monitoring to inform treatment. Initial screening establishes baseline symptomatology and treatment priorities; regular follow-up assessments track progress over time. Using MHIRA, assessments are delivered remotely to fit patients' schedules while giving clinicians reliable, structured data to guide individualized care across MBT, addictions, and affirmative care services.
Initial Screening
Comprehensive baseline assessment to understand presenting concerns and establish treatment priorities
Regular Follow-Up
Ongoing monitoring through repeated assessments to track therapeutic progress and treatment response
Assessment Approach
The clinic utilizes a comprehensive suite of validated instruments covering depression, anxiety, personality functioning and social context—enabling holistic assessment of mental health and psychosocial factors. With MHIRA, the team tailors assessment batteries to each patient's needs and delivers them remotely in a structured, Spanish-language workflow for screening and follow-up.
Key Benefits
Patient Convenience
Email-based distribution allows patients to complete assessments at their convenience, reducing scheduling conflicts and improving compliance with assessment protocols.
Continuous Monitoring
Regular follow-up assessments enable psychotherapists to track symptom changes over time and adjust treatment plans proactively, supporting responsive and individualized care.
Efficient Practice Management
Remote assessment reduces in-session time spent on questionnaire administration, allowing therapists to focus therapy time on intervention and therapeutic relationship building.
Evidence-Based Practice
Validated assessment tools provide objective data that complements clinical judgment, supporting evidence-based treatment planning and outcome monitoring in private practice.

This implementation showcases how private practice settings can leverage flexible, email-based assessment delivery to enhance clinical practice while respecting patient convenience and autonomy. The model has proven particularly effective for ongoing treatment monitoring and supporting evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
