How patients participate
It's up to you to decide how much (or how little) you would like your patients to engage in measuring their own progress through therapy. You decide whether you would like patients to only complete assessments during session, or if you would like them to be able to receive assessments remotely and see their own results.
Therapists (or admins) decide whether to invite patients to create their own accounts, and patients can therefore have one of three statuses:
There is no right or wrong decision on whether to invite a patient to create an account, and the approach is different for every patient. Some factors to consider when deciding whether or not to invite the patient to create an account, include:
- comfort level with technology
- access to internet
- whether it is clinically appropriate
- whether the patient is interested in engaging outside of session time
