CHADIS
We are pleased to announce that we will begin using an internet-based developmental screening system known as CHADIS—Child Health and Development Interactive System. It is a web based system that provides an opportunity for parents to answer questionnaires about their child's development at home, in an unhurried fashion. We are hoping that patients can answer these questionnaires prior to their regular office checkups. Data from the questionnaires will be immediately available to our doctors.
Initially, we will be using CHADIS to augment Autism Screening. We will be contacting parents prior their child's 18 and 24th month checkups. The CHADIS system utilizes the standard-of-care M-CHAT questionnaire, but parents will be able to answer the questions without rushing.
