As part of their mission to improve the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and enhance the care of medically ill patients with psychiatric medical conditions, the faculty of the Division of Medical Psychiatry have developed multiple clinical surveillance and diagnostic tools, used in medical centers and programs around the world, including:

Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation (SIPAT): for the assessment of the psychosocial candidacy of organ transplantation. The tool is currently used in over 500 transplant centers around the world and has been translated into 13 languages.

Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation for Mechanical Circulatory Systems (SIPAT–MCS): a new tool developed for the psychosocial assessment of candidates for mechanical circulatory systems, such as ventricular assisted devices. 

Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation for Living Organ Donors (SIPAT–D): a new tool developed for the psychosocial assessment of living, organ donor candidates.

Prediction of Alcohol Withdrawal Severity Scale (PAWSS): to identify patients at high risk of developing complicated alcohol withdrawal syndrome, thus allowing for the timely prevention and treatment of this complication among medically ill patients. 

Stanford Proxy Test for Delirium (S-PTD): a new tool for the timely and accurate diagnosis of delirium in both med/surg bed patients and critical care units.

Stanford Algorithm for Predicting Delirium (SAPD): a tool to help predict patients at risk for developing delirium.

Stanford Adherence Tool for Cystic Fibrosis (SAT-CF): a new clinical tool developed to quickly identify areas of strengths and challenges in adherence for patients with CF.

Stanford Adherence Tool for Transplant (SAT-T): a new clinical tool developed to quickly identify areas of strengths and challenges in adherence for patients after transplantation (in particular, lung transplant recipients).
