Auto-Scored Assessments
Self‑scoring assessments in Sessions Health let you send standardized questionnaires to clients, automatically score responses, and view visual trends over time. These tools help you track symptoms, support clinical decision‑making, and document progress without manual scoring.
You can assign assessments directly from a client’s chart, review completed results, and view graphs that update as clients complete additional assessments.
ℹ️ Assessments that support auto‑scoring show a lightning bolt icon in the Forms & Documents page under the Screenings and Assessments list.

How Auto‑Scored Assessments Work
Auto‑scored assessments can be completed by clients in their portal or filled out by you at any time. Once the form is submitted, Sessions Health scores it automatically and adds the results to the client’s chart.
ℹ️ Clients never see how their assessments are scored. Scoring details are only visible to you in the client’s chart.
In the Assessments tab on a client’s profile, you’ll see all completed assessments listed together with their scores. This gives you a quick view of how a client has been doing over time.
When you open a specific assessment type, you can view the responses, the total score, and a graph that updates as more assessments of that type are completed. This makes it easy to follow changes and support your clinical work.
