Form layout and question style
The interview uses a framework of numbered sections, subsections and questions.
-
Questions are worded and ordered to create a conversation.
-
Patient and carer names are inserted dynamically in the question text, adding to the conversational feel.
-
The Interview Explorer makes it easy to depart from the given question order, or to skip questions and sections, when you choose.
-
Double-click a question number to add a "marginal note" in a linked Microsoft Word document. Notes are later integrated with the reports.
Question status
Questions are disabled when your responses to other questions show them to be inapplicable.
Question status is reflected graphically on the interview forms:

The Route Explorer
The Route Explorer has all the features of the Interview Explorer, but displays just the selection of questions which lie on the chosen interview route.
-
A route is a set of questions drawn from many parts of the interview which it might be helpful to ask or review sequentially.
-
Only route questions, and the section and subsection folders which contain them, appear in the Route Explorer.
-
The red and green colours of section and subsection folders reflect the status of just the questions on the route.
