Choosing an assessment platform: FAQ
The questions I hear most from practices weighing up their options.
How do I choose an assessment platform?
Start from your caseload and your patients. Weigh clinical coverage (the forms you actually use), pricing model (flat vs metered), patient experience, and whether results flow into your practice management system. I recommend trialling two platforms with real patients before committing: these comparisons help you shortlist, not decide for you.
What’s the cheapest option for scored assessments?
ClientForms starts at $9/month for unlimited responses on three forms of your choice, and $19/month for all 260+ forms, with no per-assessment metering. Paper forms look free but cost 1 to 2 hours per assessment in scoring and data entry. Metered platforms charge per completed assessment, which adds up quickly at volume.
Which platform is best for ADHD and autism assessment?
ClientForms is purpose-built for neurodivergent patients: time estimates, grouped questions and calmer defaults, plus composite ADHD and autism profiles that combine several validated instruments into one norm-referenced picture, with parent, teacher and self-report merged into a single report.
Do any of these integrate with Cliniko?
ClientForms does: it is a Cliniko Connected App and the only clinical psychometrics app on the marketplace, writing scored results into treatment notes with the PDF attached. A PracSuite integration is launching in Australia. Most comparison platforms have no native Cliniko integration.
