DSS SCORE Assessment for an Individual

DSS provides 3 individual assessment domains for one-on-one case work:

• Client Circumstances
• Client Goals
• Client Satisfaction

SCORE assessments must always be related to a particular session or activity and assessed on a particular date.

In CDS database the session date is assigned to the assessment as date of assessment. Client assessments can be entered pre-session or post-session, both pre and post session assessments can be recorded against the same session.

To assess a client users must navigate to the session they wish to record assessment for and locate the session attendance panel.
