Scored Assessments
Auto-score PHQ-9, GAD-7, and custom clinical questionnaires
Clinical assessments like the PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), AUDIT (alcohol), and dozens of other standardized questionnaires require scoring to be clinically useful. Formisoft computes scores automatically at submission time so your clinical team sees results instantly — no manual tallying, no spreadsheets, no errors.
Set up scoring in your form settings: Formisoft auto-detects scorable fields (radio buttons and dropdowns with options), lets you assign numeric values to each answer choice, and define severity ranges with labels. For common assessments, one-click presets configure PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scoring with standard clinical ranges.
Scores appear on every submission: a prominent score card shows the total, maximum possible, and severity classification. The submissions list also displays scores in a dedicated column so your team can triage at a glance. Scores are included in webhook payloads, the REST API, and PDF exports — making them available everywhere your data flows.
How it works
Build Your Assessment Form
Create a form with radio or select fields for each question. Use a pre-built template (PHQ-9, GAD-7) or build your own assessment from scratch.
Configure Scoring
Open form settings and enable scoring. Formisoft auto-detects scorable fields. Assign point values to each answer option, or apply a one-click preset for standard assessments.
Define Severity Ranges
Set score ranges with labels and severity levels — for example, 0-4 Minimal, 5-9 Mild, 10-14 Moderate, 15-19 Moderately Severe, 20-27 Severe.
Scores Appear Automatically
When a patient submits the form, the score is computed server-side and shown on the submission detail page, in the submissions list, and in API/webhook payloads.
Key features
Everything included with scored assessments, built into the platform.
One-Click Presets
Apply standard scoring for PHQ-9 (depression) and GAD-7 (anxiety) with a single click. Correct ranges and severity labels are configured automatically.
Custom Scoring
Assign any numeric value to any answer option on any radio or select field. Build scoring for custom assessments, satisfaction surveys, or risk evaluations.
Severity Classification
Define named ranges (Minimal, Mild, Moderate, Severe) with color-coded badges. Staff see the severity at a glance on every submission.
Score Card on Submissions
A prominent score card displays the total, maximum possible, and severity badge at the top of every submission detail page.
Scores in Submissions List
When scoring is enabled, the submissions table shows a score column so your team can triage assessments without opening each one.
Included in API & Webhooks
Scores are included in webhook payloads, the REST API, and PDF exports. Your external systems receive the computed score alongside submission data.
Server-Side Computation
Scores are computed server-side at submission time and stored immutably. They cannot be tampered with from the client.
Works with Templates
Pre-built screening templates (PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT, and more) include scoring configuration. Create from template and scoring is ready to go.

Frequently asked questions
Which assessments have built-in presets?
Formisoft includes one-click scoring presets for PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire for depression, 0-27 scale) and GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, 0-21 scale). You can also configure custom scoring for any assessment.
Can I score custom assessments?
Yes. Any form with radio buttons or select/dropdown fields can be scored. You assign numeric values to each answer option and define your own severity ranges with labels.
Where do scores appear?
Scores appear on the submission detail page (as a score card), in the submissions list (as a column), in webhook payloads, in the REST API response, and on printed/PDF submissions.
Are scores included in webhook and API data?
Yes. The score object (total, max, per-field breakdown, and severity range) is included in webhook payloads and the /api/v1/submissions endpoint response.
