Abstract: A system and method for collecting behavioral health care data for a patient include a mechanism for creating an evaluation instrument from a database of questions having linked answers thereto. New questions can also be entered into the database, along with a user-defined branching logic dependent upon the patient's answer to the question. Patient answers that are numerically scaleable can be displayed graphically against time over a plurality of sessions and also against indicia labeled for values representing a predetermined goal and a value determined upon an initial evaluation, for tracking patient progress.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for reporting behavioral health care data, and, more particularly, for creating displays and reports for aggregating data from patient treatment results. One feature permits the user to choose among patient progress indicators relative to a behavioral problem to be graphed versus time, along with one or more treatments, in order to gauge the effect of the treatment upon the behavioral problem. Another feature permits the generation of a narrative report that integrates fixed textual matter with data from the patient's electronic chart. An alternate embodiment of this feature also permits the composition of formats for a narrative report.
