Viewing and interpreting results

Mindchart presents questionnaire results in a clear, visual way to help you understand current scores and change over time. This page explains where to find results, how they are displayed, and how to interpret them responsibly.

Mindchart does not provide diagnoses or clinical decisions — it supports outcome tracking and reflection.

Where to find questionnaire results​

To view results for a participant:

  1. Go to the participant profile page
  2. Open the participant record
  3. Find the completed questionnaire in recent questionnaire requests or click view all to see all questionnaires.
  4. Select the completed questionnaire

You’ll see:

  • Individual questionnaire scores
  • Individual questionnaire scores relative to cut-offs (if they exist)

Understanding individual scores​

Each questionnaire has its own scoring system. Mindchart displays:

  • The total score (or subscale scores, where applicable)
  • The date the questionnaire was completed
  • The questionnaire name and version
  • The responses to each questionnaire question

For detailed information about how a specific questionnaire is scored, refer to its page in the Questionnaire Hub.

Important:

  • Scores should always be interpreted in context
  • A single score might be less informative than patterns over time

When a questionnaire is completed more than once, Mindchart displays results as a trends.

To view trends for a participant:

  1. Go to the participant profile page
  2. Open the participant record
  3. Click Trends under recent questionnaire requests
  4. Select a questionnaire fromthe list

Trends help you:

  • See whether scores are increasing, decreasing, or stable
  • Understand change across sessions or weeks
  • Identify periods of improvement or difficulty

A trend does not explain why change occurred — it simply shows that change happened.

Using results alongside notes​

Questionnaire results are most useful when combined with participant notes.

For example:

  • A sudden score change may relate to a life event
  • Gradual improvement may align with an intervention
  • Stable scores may still represent meaningful maintenance

Notes help you capture the context behind the numbers.

What Mindchart does not do​

To avoid confusion, it’s important to understand what Mindchart does not provide:

  • ❌ Diagnoses
  • ❌ Automated clinical interpretations
  • ❌ Treatment recommendations
  • ❌ Risk decisions

Mindchart supports measurement and monitoring, not clinical judgement.

Good practice when interpreting results​

  • Look at Trends, not just single scores
  • Consider timing (e.g. baseline vs follow-up)
  • Use questionnaires consistently
  • Avoid over-interpreting small score changes
  • Discuss results appropriately, based on your role and setting

Sharing and discussing results​

Depending on your workflow:

  • Results may be reviewed internally by clinicians or teams
  • Results may be discussed with participants as part of care
  • Results may inform service-level evaluation or audit

Always follow your organisation’s guidance on how results should be communicated.

Troubleshooting​

I can’t see results

  • Confirm the questionnaire status is Completed
  • Check you’re viewing the correct participant
  • Ensure you have permission to view results

A participant’s score looks unexpected

  • Review previous results and notes
  • Check the questionnaire version
  • Consider external factors before drawing conclusions
