Choosing assessments: what's available, preferred assessments & requests

You choose which assessments each client gets. HiBoop can also suggest scales for related conditions.

Options for assignment

• Manual selection: add any assessment from the library to any session.
• Program templates: plan the assessments for each session, like Intake, Check-In and Discharge, once and reuse them.
• Recurring sessions: in a program, add a session for each check-in, with its due date in days from the start.
• Related assessments: turn on Include Related Assessments so HiBoop adds scales for related conditions, using your preferred assessments.

Setting preferred tools

Want your clinic to use specific scales for each condition? Set preferred assessments (for example, PHQ-9 for depression or PCL-5 for trauma) under Settings > Assessments > Settings.

HiBoop then uses your preferred scale when it suggests or adds an assessment for that condition.

This keeps assessments consistent across clinicians and programs, and you still have the final say.

Can I select my preferred assessments?

Yes. Admins set one preferred assessment for each condition, for the whole clinic.

Example:

• Anxiety → GAD-7
• Depression → PHQ-9
• Trauma → PCL-5

For a single client, add the scales you want to their session. See How do I issue an assessment?

Setting up preferred assessments

How to configure preferred assessments

1. In the left-hand menu, open Settings, then Assessments, then Settings.
2. Scroll to the Preferred Assessments section.
3. For each condition (for example, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma or Substance Use), choose a scale from the dropdown.
4. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Example configuration

Notes

• Preferred assessments apply to the whole clinic.
• Clinicians can still add other scales to any session.
• A condition with only one scale in the library shows that scale and can't be changed.

How do I request new assessments to HiBoop?

Requesting a new assessment

HiBoop supports custom tool requests, including:
