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.
