GoalMinder constructs color-coded bar graphs of these ratings. The graphs are given to the client and have informational and motivational qualities, similar to self-monitoring strategies or even to biofeedback.
Patients become involved and interested in seeing results.
Individual symptoms as well as the total symptom cluster can be graphed and printed for the patient or can be included in reports to referrers or treatment team members. Expected slopes of progress are provided, when known. Slopes and deviations from linear progress are calculated and interpreted in progress and termination reports. They are available at any time for review or treatment planning.
