Assessment Scoring

(Topic Last Updated On: 05/05/2010)

The Patient Assessments and Site Assessments menu items on the Assessments menu launch the Patient Assessments and Site Assessments screens, used for entering, modify, deleting, printing, and exporting Patient or Site Assessments. A scoring link appears on these screens beside each entered assessment, allowing users to generate a scoring report for each. Scoring values are defined for responses using the Assessment Wizard. Assessment scoring reports present a total score for each module of an entered assessment, and also displays the average and maximum scores for all instances of the assessment entered. The assessment scoring report viewer provides the same options as are available for assessment reports.
