Medication Questionnaires
CASIC Builder™ includes standard question styles for building medication-specific questionnaires, such as regimen understanding or medication adherence.
- Regimen style questions display the patient regimen with the question.
- Single medication style questions display one medication from the patient's regimen along with
the question. A separate response for each medication is recorded.
- Create medication questionnaires with or without medication images.
- The medication database can be edited, and integrated with other systems.
Individual patient regimens may be stored within the system. CASIC Builder
questionnaires automatically accommodate any number of medications in patients' regimens.
Medication Questions: Regimen styles
| Regimen selection
|
"Click your pills" regimen selection, and specialized dosing selection
questions provide questionnaires with a graphical "mediset builder" interface. |
| Regimen confirmation
|
When there are discrepancies between self-report and
the patient regimen in the database, these question
styles display discrepancies and ask the patient for confirmation. |
| Additional Regimen styles
|
These question styles are intended for questions
about the entire regimen. Styles include multiple choice
(select one, or select many), and VAS scale. |
CASIC Builder offers medication questionnaires specialized "Medication loop"
instructions so the same question (or series) can be posed
for each patient medication. No programming is required to handle
patients with different numbers of medications in their regimen.
Medication Questions: Single Medication Styles
| Multiple choice |
Both single-selection and select-many styles are available. |
| VAS Scale |
Five different VAS image styles are included with the software. |
| Numeric and text entry |
As with all the individual medication question styles, the medication
is displayed with the question. |
