| The BASIS-32®
is a patient self-report rating scale of symptom and problem
difficulty, used primarily to assess outcomes of treatment. It is
designed to be given by a qualified health care provider or his or
her qualified representative at the beginning of a treatment episode
to serve as a baseline assessment of the patient's perspective of
his/her own symptoms and problems. BASIS-32® can then be
given by a qualified health care provider or his or her qualified
representative at discharge or at a time point during treatment to
assess improvement in symptom and problem difficulty from the patient's
perspective. Improvement is ascertained by comparing scores at intake
with scores at discharge or other second time point.
Decreases in self-reported symptom and problem difficulty are one
measure that may indicate some improvement. However, BASIS-32®
is not a clinical diagnostic tool and it is not designed to replace
a clinical evaluation; accordingly, a provider should fully evaluate
any patient and not rely on survey results to make a clinical diagnosis.
BASIS-32® is one measure of how patients perceive their
own symptoms and problems and may be used together with other indicators
to identify goals for treatment based on patients' symptom and problem
identification.
Once a survey is completed and a qualified health care provider
or his or her representative submits the data to the BASIS-32®
WebScore service, it will perform the calculations to obtain BASIS-32®
subscale and overall mean summary scores. The scores are then displayed
on your computer screen and may be printed. The WebScore service
does not store the data in a file or transmit the data to McLean
Hospital.
BASIS-32® data entered through WebScore ARE NOT SECURE
during transmission. In entering data through WebScore you will
be sending patient information over the Internet to be scored. Consequently,
it might be possible for other people to see what you are sending.

for it to be scored, and we strongly recommend that you do not include
