How Lirena uses EPDS

Lirena presents EPDS as a structured assessment workflow with assignment, completion, deterministic scoring support, and clinician-reviewed output. The public page describes metadata and operational use only; it does not reproduce protected item wording beyond approved source material.

  • 10 item workflow
  • Patient response pathway
  • Score range 0-30

Clinical boundary

Always review self-harm item and safeguarding context.

Assessment scores support clinical review, formulation, documentation, and follow-up. They do not diagnose a condition by themselves.

Governance notes

Clinics should verify official wording, licences, scoring manuals, local policy, and clinician competency before using an instrument in production.
