Creating questionnaires

Questionnaires are versioned so that you can work on questionnaires without affecting the current active version. When you create a questionnaire, a draft version of the questionnaire is automatically created.

About this task

Draft questionnaire versions are in an In Edit state and the current active versions are in an Active state. You can configure only a version of a questionnaire that is in the In Edit, or draft, state. Only one In Edit version can exist.

You can associate an external system reference with the report template that you are creating or copying. When sending or receiving a questionnaire as an API attribute, the external system identifies the questionnaire by its external system reference.

Procedure

  1. Sign in with your administrator credentials.
    Your home page opens.
  2. Click Questionnaires. The list of questionnaires is displayed. The External System Reference displays the reference that the external system uses to identify the questionnaire.
  3. Click New.
  4. Enter a name for the questionnaire and a description, as needed.
    Descriptions can be up to 500 characters long.
  5. Optional: In the External System Reference field, enter a unique reference number of up to 20 alphanumeric characters to associate with the questionnaire that you are adding.
  6. In the Display History Across Programs field, enter the time period (in days) in which to display historical completed questionnaires to the care team.
    This option restricts the historical completed questionnaires that are available to a care team before they complete the questionnaire on a program, when the assessment was previously completed for the client on another program. For example, if you enter 0, no completion history prior to the program assignment date is displayed when the care team access the questionnaire from the new program. If you enter 10, the completion history for the previous 10 days (program assignment date - 10 days) is displayed when the care team access the questionnaire on a new program. Note: Depending on the value that you enter, some or all historical versions of the questionnaire might be unavailable to the care team until they complete the questionnaire for the first time on the program. When completed, all historical versions of the questionnaire are displayed.
  7. You can select the Prefill Answers check box to prefill all questionnaire answers with the most recent answers when care teams repeat the questionnaire. You can override this configuration at the question level in the configured questionnaire.
  8. Click Save.

What to do next

After you finish configuring a questionnaire version, you must activate the version to make the questionnaire available for use.
