The Diagnostic Accuracy Blueprint gives PMHNPs and psych-certified FNPs a repeatable, 45-minute intake system — built on the CLARITY Method — for untangling overlapping presentations like ADHD vs. anxiety, mixed features vs. unipolar depression, and trauma vs. bipolar-spectrum illness. Walk out of every visit with a clear, defensible diagnosis instead of a vague feeling that something is wrong.

Sound familiar?
You sit down for a 60-minute intake. The patient launches into a 10-year story — childhood, relationships, trauma, every medication they've ever tried, plus a self-diagnosis from TikTok. At 55 minutes you've heard a lot, but you don't know what's primary, what's secondary, or what you're going to code today.
And now there's the pre-diagnosed patient: “I have ADHD, I need Vyvanse.” That uncertainty isn't a knowledge gap — you were trained to collect information, never given a repeatable system for organizing it into a clear, defensible decision in a 20-25 patient day. That's a framework gap, and it's exactly what DAB closes.
The shift
A seven-step mental checklist you run in the background of every eval — built specifically for the diagnostic overlaps PMHNPs face every week. It maps onto a 4-block, 45-minute intake you can run with your very next new patient.
Why is this person here today — not their entire life story? What changed recently, and how is it affecting function now?
When did symptoms first show up? Constant or episodic? How do they line up with life events, trauma, substance use, medical changes?
What's the central bucket — mood, anxiety/trauma, ADHD/ASD, substance use, or medical/iatrogenic?
Is there anything here that can't safely stay at a routine outpatient level?
Stop collecting, start thinking: what 2-3 diagnoses best explain the story and the exam?
What will you start, stop, or adjust — and what referrals or labs does this call for?
Does your chart show exactly how you got from story to decision?
The curriculum
You don't just learn the framework — you apply it to live cases across nine sessions.
Meet CLARITY and walk away with a 3-question opener and safety screen you can use in your very next intake — before Module 1.
Build the full 4-block, 45-minute intake structure and apply it to a live case — a repeatable system instead of a vague sense that something is wrong.
Sort ADHD from anxiety, trauma, and bipolar-spectrum illness using timeline, sleep, energy, and childhood history — with two full case walkthroughs.
Catch mixed features hiding inside a depressive presentation, and untangle OCD from early psychosis when insight is poor.
Recognize personality patterns and adult autism — including male vs. female presentations — and when a formal autism eval adds real value.
Sort primary ADHD/anxiety from substance-induced presentations, use your state PMP correctly, and know when active SUD calls for specialty referral.
Tell true psychopathology apart from medication-induced anxiety, mania, psychosis, or withdrawal — so you stop adding drugs to fix a drug-caused problem.
Know when to step up to ED, inpatient, or partial hospital, when TBI or dementia means neurology, and how to hold your scope with confidence.
Turn CLARITY into an EMR note template with drop-in formulation paragraphs and a 4-week plan to implement without burning out.
