Responsibilities
The Clinical Psychologist will conduct scheduled soldier interviews via telephone and review all medical records to update the behavioral health status of service members since they were placed on Temporary Disability Retirement List (“TDRL”). In-person soldier interviews will be rare, averaging as few as 1/year. Approximately 4 TDRLs are to be completed each week, or 16-18/month.
Additionally, a more intensive review of the current behavioral health status of service members placed on Legacy Disability will be conducted and reported in the form of a Legacy Disability Evaluation (“LDES”). Approximately 2 LDES are to be completed per month.
Finally, the Clinical Psychologist will review the Behavioral Health components of the Narrative Summaries (“NARSUMs”) written by the General Medicine Physicians as part of the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (“IDES”) to validate the findings. The mission of the IDES is to identify any readiness or deployment limiting conditions and to document medical and mental health conditions not meeting Army retention standards. Approximately 13-18 NARSUMS will be reviewed each week.
