Quick Reference — To complete a score-only questionnaire during an encounter
For screening questionnaires that are not fully supported in athenaOne or questionnaires that a patient takes offline (for example, on paper), you can document the score in the encounter.
Note: Like questionnaires completed in athenaOne, completed score-only questionnaires appear in the patient chart and use the available graphing and billing code mapping features.
After the patient fills out the screening questionnaire, enter the score as follows.
- If you plan to link one or more documents to the score-only screening questionnaire (for example, the paper questionnaire that the patient filled out), upload the document to the patient chart and tie it to the encounter.
- Using the Add Document page, upload the questionnaire document to your computer.
For the Document Class, select Encounter Document – Health History Questionnaire. - When the document view opens, select the encounter from the Tie To Patient Encounter menu and click Save.
- From the Intake stage of the encounter, click the Screening section in the checklist.
The Screening section opens. - Click the menu at the top to see all the questionnaires your organization has copied.
- From the menu, select the score-only questionnaire by checking the box to the left of the questionnaire name.
The patient must take the questionnaire before you enter its score in the encounter.
Note: If the patient declines to answer the questions, select a reason from the menu below the questionnaire name and click the Save button (see To record that a patient declined a screening questionnaire). - Score — Enter the numeric score from the offline questionnaire.
- Notes — Enter any notes about the questionnaire.
- Documents — You can link one or more documents to a screening questionnaire (for example, you can link the paper questionnaire that the patient filled out to attach it to this score-only questionnaire).
Note: Before you can link a document to a screening questionnaire, the document must first be uploaded to the patient chart and tied to the encounter (see step 1). - In the Screening window, click Select document.
The list of documents tied to the encounter appears. - Select the questionnaire document from the list.
A link to the document appears on the screening questionnaire and on the read-only view of previously completed questionnaires. - Click the Save button. (You must click the Save button in the Screening section to save your work.)
Note: The Administered by name and time stamp do not appear for score-only questionnaires.
