Quality Assessment Report

Your QA Reports will only be as accurate and meaningful as the data you have entered.  The QA analysis examines variables you have addressed at Intake and at Discharge. Therefore, if you have not entered a diagnosis at Intake with GAF rating, and then selected the Diagnosis screen at discharge to update the GAF, that patient's principal diagnosis and GAF ratings will not appear in the report. Similarly, if you do not address Risk Factors (see Assessment) at Intake and then update them at Discharge, the breakdown of Risk factors by degree will not be complete or accurate.

Select Quality Assessment from the Reports menu in the Patients window. The QA Report shows statistics for patients with a documented Intake and Discharge note. The report includes the following:

Statistics listed by Diagnosis

Number of Patients by Diagnosis

Average Number of Sessions Seen

Average Differential GAF
