Assessments
Validated instruments. Score from a file. Land on the chart.
Praxnote ships with twenty validated assessments. Upload a completed form in almost any format, and the scored result lands on the client's record. The interpretations and severity bands are clinician-editable for the populations you actually see.
Instruments included

From a file to a scored result
Drop in the form. Get a result back.
Praxnote accepts the form however the client gave it to you — PDF, image, Word, Excel, CSV, RTF. The scoring happens in steps, with a careful safety check for the simple paper-and-pen forms that sometimes don't scan cleanly the first time.
- 1
Read the form
Praxnote pulls the client's answers off whatever file you gave it, in whatever format the form happened to be in.
- 2
Apply your scoring
Each instrument has its own scoring rules. If your practice has adjusted them, your version applies. Otherwise the Praxnote default does.
- 3
Produce the result
The scoring is applied to the answers and the result is produced in the shape your clinicians expect — total score, sub-scales, severity band.
- 4
Cross-check
For straightforward question-and-answer forms, Praxnote re-scores the form a second way and compares the two — a quiet safety check that you don't have to think about.
- 5
Onto the chart
The scored assessment lands on the client's record, linked back to the file you uploaded. The clinician reviews it from the chart.
Severity bands you can shape
The interpretation is editable, too.
The scoring rules and the severity-band interpretations are written in plain language and editable per practice. Some clinical populations need different severity cutoffs than the ones that ship as defaults — your practice can adjust them and your version will apply from then on.
Why this matters
Severity bands aren't universal. A PHQ-9 of 12 can mean different things in different populations. Letting your practice shape the interpretation lets the clinical voice come through, without changing how the underlying score is calculated.
What you can change
The cutoffs, the wording of each severity band, the interpretation paragraphs the clinician sees, and the paragraphs the client sees in their version. Each is a plain-language edit that applies to your practice only.
See it on a real form
Bring a PHQ-9 or a GAD-7. We'll score it on the walk-through.
On most walk-throughs we run a real (or sanitized) form through scoring live. You'll see the result, the severity band, and how it lands on the chart.
