CHADIS Information

Every day, patients leave well-visits with developmental, behavioral, or mental health concerns that went undetected. Not because clinicians don’t care, but because they often lack the time, tools, and clinical support to identify concerns early and act at the moment of care. Founded by Drs. Barbara Howard and Raymond Sturner, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatricians and Johns Hopkins faculty, CHADIS was built from the inside out by clinicians who faced these challenges firsthand. CHADIS is an award-winning web-based platform that helps practices simplify pre-visit assessments and care planning, so they can respond to developmental, behavioral, health, mental health, and social needs before, during, and after the visit. Patients complete questionnaires from any online device before arriving. By the time the clinician walks in, results are scored, interpreted into visit notes, and key concerns are highlighted. No paper. No manual scoring. Fewer missed flags. With 1,000+ validated questionnaires in multiple languages, CHADIS automates screening workflows, supports evidence-based care, integrates with EHRs, improves early detection, and helps practices bill appropriately for completed screenings. CPT codes are automatically added to screenings, which can generate $15,000–$35,000 in added billable revenue per provider each year. Our tools go beyond EHRs, including: Q-CHAT-10-O, TADAS, ASQ-3, Conners, CBCL, PHQ-9, for SDoH, and more. The Numbers 5,000+ clinicians · 3M+ patients served · 42M+ questionnaires delivered · $27M+ in NIH/CDC/SBIR funding Why It Matters A child identified at 18 months has a fundamentally different trajectory than one detected at age 4. CHADIS helps close that gap systematically, at scale, in the practices where families already go for care. We are not just a software company. We are a clinical partner.
