Assessment Settings

HiBoop gives clinic administrators control over how assessments are selected, scored, and recommended for patients. All configuration options are available under Settings > Assessment Form.

What assessments are available?

HiBoop offers a library of over 100 clinically validated mental health assessments covering depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, substance use, autism spectrum, and more, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, C-SSRS, ASRS, and RAADS-R.

See What assessments are available in HiBoop? for the full library.

How does the recommendation algorithm work?

When a patient completes the prescreen, HiBoop's recommendation engine maps their responses to symptom severity thresholds across condition domains. It selects the most clinically appropriate full-length assessments based on what was flagged, and respects any preferred tools your clinic has set per domain.

See What is the HiBoop recommendation algorithm? for details.

Setting preferred assessments

Preferred assessments are the default instruments assigned when a specific condition domain is flagged during prescreening. Admins configure these per domain, for example, choosing PHQ-9 for depression or PCL-5 for trauma.

To set preferred assessments:

1. Go to Settings > Assessment Form
2. Scroll to the Preferred Assessments section
3. Select your preferred tool for each condition category
4. Click Save

Can I disable the recommendation algorithm?

Yes. If your clinic follows a fixed assessment protocol, you can turn off the recommendation algorithm entirely and assign assessments manually for every patient.

See Can I disable the recommendation algorithm?

Prescreen questions

The prescreen is a brief set of symptom-domain questions that runs before full assessments. It flags which condition areas to explore further and drives the recommendation engine. Clinics can enable or disable individual prescreen domains to match their clinical focus.
