Use Rating Scales

PracticeQ allows you to automatically calculate simple scored questions that are commonly used to assess patients using rating scales. 

Add a Rating Scale Question

1. Click My Forms and open the form you wish to edit.
2. Select the question for which you wish to enable the score calculation. The Question Type must be Matrix - Single Answer per Line.
3. Check the box labeled Enable Score Calculation. This will reveal the score text boxes in the header of each column, as seen below.
4. Click the Add Row and Add Column buttons as needed.
5. Title the columns and rows.
6. Assign a numeric score for each column.
7. Once you set up the question, PracticeQ will display the final rating for it in the submitted forms (i.e.: Score: 67 out of 90).
   
   

Note: By default, your patients will not see the scores or their final ratings; only the forms that are submitted to you will contain this information. To change that, click Question Options and check the box labeled Display Score to Client.

Display Score for Multiple Tables

You may wish to calculate the total score of a series of questions:

1. Select the last question of the series.
2. Click Question Options, and check the box labeled Show Grand Total box.
3. This will prompt PracticeQ to add up the scores of all the previous consecutive questions of the series.

Client View

• Clients will enter a number for each cell. 
• Once the client submits the form, the sum of the numbers will display at the bottom of the matrix for each column.
