FAQs
What if I can’t see any data for my clients?
If you don’t see data, it usually means your client hasn’t completed their intake or pre-session assessments. Encourage them to complete these assessments before sessions to ensure accurate tracking.
Can I collect GAD-7 and PHQ-9 results and add them to the flowsheet?
All GAD-7 and PHQ-9 results currently come from the intake and pre-session surveys clients complete. We will soon give you the tools to collect GAD-7 and PHQ-9 data during your sessions. Stay tuned for updates.
