A Cutting-edge Assessment Tool sThe CRA and INTERA's web-based delivery system are truly cutting-edge technology. No other product or provider offers online psychological assessment and summative reporting tailored specifically to the needs of cosmetic surgeons. There are assessments out there that deal with one or two specific issues but they do not provide a cumulative assessment of the cosmetic surgery patient and because they were developed for use by licensed counselors and psychologists, they are not available directly to the cosmetic surgeon.

Currently physicians are assessing their patients in various ways for psychological issues prior to surgery, and all too often are not assessing for mental health problems at all. For example, in some offices the physician conducts an initial intake interview based on questions he/she has come up with, and in other cases this task is delegated to mid level staff who may have little training in psychological issues. The need for a standardized, evidence-based assessment tool which screens for mental health problems is well documented in the research. The CRA provides the solution that cosmetic surgeons, insurance companies, and your patients have been waiting for! Some of the content domains in the CRA include:

  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder
  • Depression and Anxiety disorders
  • Borderline Personality Disorder
  • Expectations for outcome
  • Motivations for surgery
  • Prior cosmetic surgical experience and satisfaction
Using the CRA is EASY as 1-2-3! Doctor leaning back after a more effective interview because of the CRA. Not only is the CRA the most affordable method of preassessment for cosmetic surgery patients and protection for aesthetic surgeons, it is also the most accessible! In fact the whole process takes only three steps!
1Refer patient to the secure website with the access number you are given when you subscribe. You can make this even simpler by linking patients to the CRA directly from your website, they won’t even need to know the access number! This also lets you integrate the CRA more seamlessly into your existing intake workflow!
2Patient completes the CRA online. The CRA is very straight forward so that even non tech-savvy patients can use the system with ease, it takes most patients only 25 to 30 minutes to complete, and because there is no software to install it can be completed in the patient's home, in your office, or anywhere there is an internet connection.
3Read the report! Our brief summative report will be available to you within 24 hours! This means you can gain a critical understanding of every patient before your initial interview!

Physician Testimonials:
"Cosmetic medicine and surgery seems to attract a higher number of patients with psychological "baggage" and unrealistic expectations. The Cosmetic Readiness Assessment helps me identify the patients who are better/safer to work with, who have good support systems and who will be more satisfied with realistic results...that lets me concentrate on patient safety, outcome and aesthetics. The CRA is a valuable and worthwhile tool to help insure peace of mind and protect your assets." Edward M. Zimmerman, MD. President, The American Board of Laser Surgery
"The Cosmetic Readiness Assessment (CRA) is a tool that focuses on assessment of psychological, motivational, compliance and adaptability issues prior to a surgical procedure. It represents a program that can act as a Shield to your practice and simultaneously serve the patient in the same manner. Wouldn’t it be nice to take the drama and the risk out of doing a cosmetic procedure? I see this tool as a win/win situation for the patient and the surgeon as well as the malpractice carrier."  Bob Blumm, MA, PA-C, DFAAPA President, Association of Plastic Surgery Physician Assistants
"Personally, I see INTERA's Cosmetic Readiness Assessment as a simple form of insurance and a practice builder. I feel comfortable that when my patients have completed this assessment I will have the confidence that I am operating on someone that will respond to the surgery in an expected, stable, and positive manner. I also have the benefit of having advance knowledge of patients that may need professional help, which will enhance ability to manage a successful cosmetic surgical outcome."  Jeff P. Edelstein, MD.
