Ontrak announces initial assessment results for Wholehealth+ program members

Ontrak announced initial assessment results showing that after six months, 30% of assessed Ontrak Wholehealth+ members sustained a clinically significant reduction in anxiety symptoms and 55% sustained a clinically significant reduction of depressive symptoms. In June 2022 Ontrak Health implemented the widely accepted PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments as foundational measurements of its innovative care coaching model and evidence-based Wholehealth+ program. While mostly used by providers, Ontrak Health has incorporated them into its care coaching model to promote better monitoring, collaboration, and accountability with its providers and customers. Thousands of assessments have been completed representing results for more than 1,000 unique program enrollees. Ontrak care coaches perform ongoing reassessments with members at regular intervals so that the scores can be trended and monitored for symptom change. "The inclusion of PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments in the Ontrak Wholehealth+ program is an important step in measuring mental health improvements for our members. Regular assessment of members’ PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores can provide valuable insights into our members’ progress in mental health care and help our providers tailor treatment plans to meet the specific needs of each member. Providing enrollees with access to and interpretation of their assessment scores over time helps members better identify targeted mental health concerns, leading to greater involvement in their treatment outcomes," noted Judith Feld, MD, MPH, MMM, Chief Medical Officer, Ontrak Health.
