Questionnaire

To set up questions and questionnaires, you first (optionally) set up categories in the QuestionCategory look-up table, then create or edit individual questions in the SingleQuestion look-up table, then use the Questionnaire look-up table to create a questionnaire by assigning, editing, or removing the questions that define it.

Cority offers a Simplified Questionnaire layout of the Questionnaire look-up table that combines the basic setup of the three look-up tables in one form.
You must be granted access to the Simplified Questionnaire layout. When you open the Questionnaire look-up table, if you do not have a layout pinned, the Simplified Questionnaire layout will become the default layout. If you have another layout pinned, when you click New you can choose which layout you want to use. See Using the Simplified Questionnaire Layout.

Some questionnaires are provided by Cority; these are identified as Cority Created via a check box at the bottom of the form. These cannot be deleted, and you cannot change the code: add, edit, delete or reorder the questions; or modify the scoring type or formula. A Cority Created questionnaire can be cloned, translated, or exported.

           “Date”, “Text”, “Table/Query”, “Numeric”, “Multiple Choice”, or “Multiple Choice Checkbox” = response

           “Abnormal/Normal” = response appears if the response is Abnormal.

           “Yes/No” = question appears if the response is Yes

           “Checkbox” = question followed by a colon and “Yes” appears if the response is True. For example: “Check the box if you approve distribution of this information: Yes”

    Note Line Number

    The line number of the note that the question/response will appear on. Multiple questions/responses can be assigned to the same line.

    Preceding String

    Text to appear before the printed answer (e.g. Blood Pressure:).

    Following String

    Text to appear after the printed answer (e.g. mmHg)

    Concatenation String

    text or symbol that separates question responses that are on the same line of the note. For example:
