July 10, 2013: PEI OMA version 1.3 has been released. It feature one important change to dates and deadlines, and a number of smaller changes that are specific to a few EBP’s.

 

May 1, 2013: We have completed the rollout of several important changes to the PEI OMA. This is a not a full version update, but we are adding many elements that users have been waiting for such as new practices (PEARLS, PATHS and so on), new questionnaires (DERS and FAD), and data table corrections (such as the score ranges for the PHQ-9 in MHIP). Most users will not notice any obvious changes to the software aside from the addition of EBP’s. The following list includes the updates that will take effect immediately:

 

June 28, 2012: DMH rolled out the MHIP (Mental Health Integration Program) as an EBP in the PEI OMA. Existing PEI OMA users are expected to go through MHIP Data Entry Training before they begin tracking outcomes for MHIP. For any questions or concerns regarding MHIP, please contact Robert Levine (213) 381-8064. Outcome measures used for MHIP include: Generalized Anxiety Disorder – 7 (GAD-7); Patient Health Questionnaire – 9 (PHQ-9); PTSD Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C)

 

November 29, 2011: PEI OMA Version 1.1 released today. This new version of the PEI OMA adds the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC) which is now associated to Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), and the Strengthening Families Program (SFP). One new feature is the ability to choose one of two respondents for the RBPC. The system will display two copies of the questionnaires (RBPC – Parent and RBPC – Teacher), but only one can be entered. Once the scores are entered and saved for an RBPC questionnaire, the alternative questionnaire will be hidden for the life of that treatment cycle.
