Description
The COVR is an interactive software program designed to estimate the risk of an acute civil psychiatric patient becoming violent to others over the several months after discharge into the community. The program guides the evaluator through a brief chart review and a 10-minute interview with the patient. The COVR then generates a report that contains a statistically valid estimate of the patient’s violence risk, including the confidence interval for that estimate and a list of the questions used to produce the estimate.
