Background/Aims: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is often identified as being clinically underdiagnosed and undertreated, resulting in unnecessary costs and poorer patient outcomes. Method: Through a literature search, the information has been synthesized, supporting the creation of a POTS diagnostic screening tool that can be implemented within the psychiatric outpatient clinic. Results: POTS patients are often referred to psychiatry for the treatment of chronic fatigue and anxiety disorders. Psychiatric professionals are in a position to prescreen for POTS in patients with orthostatic intolerance. Conclusion: A diagnostic prescreening tool helps to identify patients with POTS so they can be referred for proper treatment, improving their functionality and quality of life, and decreasing the healthcare burden.
