Built for Filipino Mental Health Services
Designed around the Philippine Mental Health Act 2018, DOH guidelines, and the clinical tools Filipino psychiatrists, psychologists, and mental health nurses already use.
Philippine Mental Health Act 2018 (RA 11036)
Republic Act 11036, the Philippine Mental Health Act, mandates integration of mental health into the basic health care system, universal health coverage, and quality standards for mental health services. HiBoop supports outcome monitoring requirements for DOH-licensed mental health facilities, hospital-based services, and private practitioners accredited under PRC.
PHQ-9 & GAD-7 for Filipino Practice
PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are the standard evidence-based screening tools used across Philippine hospital psychiatric units, community mental health services, and private practice. Both tools are endorsed by the Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA) and the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA). HiBoop automates administration, scoring, and longitudinal trend tracking across all sessions.
PhilHealth & DOH Integration Ready
PhilHealth expanded mental health benefit packages under UHC Act (RA 11223) to cover outpatient psychiatric care and psychotherapy sessions. HiBoop's outcome documentation supports PhilHealth accreditation requirements and DOH Sentrong Sigla certification for quality mental health services, helping practices demonstrate clinical outcomes for benefit processing.
Community Mental Health Centres (CMHCs)
RA 11036 mandates establishment of Community Mental Health Centres (CMHCs) at provincial, city, and municipal levels. HiBoop provides session-level outcome monitoring tools appropriate for CMHC settings, enabling frontline mental health workers, social workers, and community psychiatrists to track population-level mental health outcomes.
