Clinical Assessment - DLA Questions
All the questions on the DLA were added to the assessment to be able to track a clients progress.
Forward movement towards Make Progress goals will be determined with data provided from a client’s self-assessment of need (NA/NA-Lite scores) & an assessment of a client’s living strengths (DLA-20 scores). This means that a client’s overall level of need, satisfaction with any identified challenges, and clinical progress should be taken into account before finalizing a client’s PSP completion.
Note: Some automation will be used to help reduce the nuances associated with the goal evaluation and completion process. See the help text for assistance.
Automation of DLA (Assessments to MP Goals)
*Added week of 11/5/2018; Any assessments created PRIOR to the automation will allow not impact the MP Goal statuses (notated as a "Historical" record type. Only NEW Clinical Assessments (notated as a "Clinical Assessment" will automate the completion of MP Goals.
The New Make Progress Goals / New Outcome Indicators below shows the relationship between Make Progress goals and Clinical Assessment Scores in Salesforce. As a client’s DLA-WNL score passes the minimum approved level (5) the associated goal may be marked "Complete" with Today's Date as the End Date. A calculated “Strength of Activity Score” will be used in circumstances where multiple DLA-20 activities are associated with a Make Progress goal.

When the system automates some of the completion of MP Goals; you'll want to keep an eye on the client's "Activity Strength" on the Outcome Indicator. All automation is forward moving (i.e. will not change the status back to "In Progress") so if a client regresses, you will need to manual update their status. See below screen shot - client's goal 1.3 is now '3 - Occassionally' for Activity Strength but Status is "Complete".
Validation Rules
Start and End Dates will be required on Client Goals are started and marked as Complete.
DLA Assessment scores need to be a numerical value between 1-7.
