advanced questionnaires?
PKB’s questionnaires feature is being updated to make it easier for clinical teams to gather information from their patients, including patients who have a PKB record but are not yet registered. The new questionnaires feature is coming soon.
The new questionnaires will have both an improved UI for patients completing the questionnaires and improved functionality for clinical teams to customise the questionnaires; such as calculated fields, questionnaire scoring, branching, and coded data.

Advanced questionnaire features
Scoring
Questionnaire scoring allows clinical teams to send scored questionnaires, such as the PHQ9, to patients. These scored questionnaires will apply simple calculations to patients' responses and generate an overall score, which can be viewed in the questionnaire response or retrieved via our APIs.
...
Branching
Organisations can configure sections of questionnaires to be displayed conditionally to patients, based on their answers to previous questions. For example, showing a set of pregnancy-related questions to a patient only after they had responded ‘Yes’ to a question asking if they are pregnant.
...
Coded data
Questions in complex advanced questionnaires can be mapped to clinical codes. For example, a question asking a patient for their blood pressure can be mapped to the SNOMED code for blood pressure. Eventually, this will allow the measurement to be added to the Measurements section of the patient’s PKB record.
Questionnaire scores can also be mapped to clinical codes where appropriate. For example, the score generated from a PHQ-9 depression questionnaire could be mapped to the SNOMED code for that score.
Mandatory questions
Organisations will be able to set individual questionnaire questions as mandatory, meaning the patient will not be able to submit the questionnaire if they are not complete. This will reduce time spent by clinical teams communicating with the patient if an important field is left unanswered. The patient will see an error message if they click Submit on a form with unanswered mandatory questions.
...
Drafts
Patients will be able to save their questionnaire in draft form and exit the questionnaire, before returning later and carrying on where they left off.
...
When a patient returns to the questionnaire, they can continue completing the questionnaire and their previous responses will be saved. When the patient clicks ‘Submit’, the associated questionnaire response will have a status of ‘Completed’.
Images
Embedded images
Organisations will be able to embed images in questionnaires. Clinical teams can use images in questionnaires to guide the patient how to answer the questions and provide additional information and context to the questions.
...
Patient-uploaded images
Patients will be able to upload images in response to questions in questionnaires. This can be used by clinical teams, for example, when collecting information about the patient, where they can upload a photograph of themselves, or for uploading images related to their health such as injuries or skin rashes.
...
Sending questionnaires to unregistered patients
Clinical teams will be able to send questionnaires to patients that have not yet registered for PKB, as long as the patient has a PKB record with an email address and date of birth.
