What are advanced questionnaires?

Advanced questionnaires are PKB questionnaires that have additional features; including scoring, branching logic, coded data and embedded images.

Clinical teams can send questionnaires to patients via the $send-questionnaire-request operation or as a Professional via the UI. Patients can also initiate questionnaires from their own record.

Please contact your Customer Success PM if your team would like to start using advanced questionnaires.

Advanced questionnaire features

Scoring

Advanced questionnaires can be built to automatically calculate a score, based on answers that the patient has provided. Whether the patient can see the score as they are answering the questions is configurable. Scores will appear on the QuestionnaireResponse resource, with an associated clinical code if appropriate.

Branching

Branching logic can be used in a questionnaire, so that the patient is only asked questions that are relevant to them. An example of this would be displaying pregnancy-related questions after the patient had answered ‘Yes’ to a question asking if they are pregnant.

Mandatory questions

Questionnaires can not be built with mandatory questions. If a patient attempts to submit a questionnaire without answering all mandatory questions, they will be shown an error message.

Coded data

Questions can now be assigned clinical codes, so that their answers can be written back to clinical systems from the QuestionnaireResponse resource. For example, if a patient completed a GAD7 questionnaire, their answers and overall score would be linked to the relevant LOINC codes on the QuestionnireResponse (see this example in the dev wiki).

How do I create an advanced questionnaire?

Advanced questionnaires have to be built by PKB. Please contact your Success team PM to discuss this.
