Add a SCORE Assessment

Data Exchange web-based portal – User Task Card 12

Thistaskcard describes the process of how to add a client or community SCORE assessment to a session record under the Partnership Approach.

What is SCORE?

SCORE stands for Standard Client/Community Outcomes Reporting. It forms part of the Data Exchange Partnership Approach.

Client SCORE or Community SCORE

There are four different types of outcomes measured through SCORE to help tell the story of what has been achieved. There are three types of SCORE domains for individual clients (Circumstances, Goals and Satisfaction) and one for group/community activities (Community). Community has been designed to report outcomes being achieved for large group or community activities where it is not feasible to record the changes for individual members of the group or community.

  • Search for the relevant case and sessionthen click onthe SCORE iconon the client listing.

Step 2 – Enter assessment details

Once a session is entered a client SCORE can be added. If you wish to add a SCORE assessment for all clients involved in the session, each assessment must be entered separately.

A client SCORE assessment is recorded twice – towards the beginning of a case (Pre) and again towards the end (Post). Both the pre and post SCOREs should be recorded using the same domain so as to mark the measurable difference between.

Select the assessment type from the drop down box:

  • Circumstances
  • Goals
  • Satisfaction

The ratings and numerical values chosen will be listed under the client record on the client SCORE screen.
