Personality Disorder

Over 8 million Americans have a personality disorder, but only 17% of those with a personality disorder seek help. The additional cost to care for a patient with personality disorder is estimated to be between $13,000 and $17,000 per year¹. Personality disorders refer to a group of behavioral health conditions typically characterized as long-term patterns and thoughts that are unhealthy and inflexible, typically affecting at least 2 of the following areas:

Way of thinking about oneself and others
Way of responding emotionally
Way of relating to other people
Way of controlling one’s behavior

Biomedix Xchange and personality disorder screening

The Biomedix Xchange population health management platform is a web-based solution designed to enable value-based care organizations to coordinate care through an integrated technology stack structured to identify multiple chronic conditions and behavioral health information, and encapsulate that information into a single patient encounter.

Historically the DSM-IV was used to identify personality disorders, but Biomedix employs a tool that can identify with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, whether or not a patient has a personality disorder, in 8 questions.

Biomedix Xchange scores the personality disorder level, and enables healthcare professionals to track the progression of the personality disorder over time, facilitating the cost-effective improvement of patient outcomes.
