Frequently Asked Questions
What ADHD assessment tools are available for NZ practitioners?
ClientForms provides DSM-5 aligned ADHD assessments including: Adult ADHD Assessment (18+) with full criterion grouping and auto-scoring, Child ADHD Assessment (ages 5-17) completed by parents/whānau, and a comorbidity screening suite (AQ-10, GAD-7, PHQ-9, K10, DASS-21). All tools are HIPC compliant and designed for remote completion.
Are the ADHD assessments suitable for telehealth?
Yes. Practitioners generate a secure assessment link and send it to their patient via email or text. Patients complete the assessment on their own device — at home, before the appointment, or during a telehealth session. This is ideal for reaching patients across Aotearoa, including rural and underserved communities.
How does criterion grouping work?
ClientForms automatically groups patient responses by DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. For ADHD, this means inattention symptoms, hyperactivity symptoms, and impulsivity symptoms are clearly separated across both adulthood and childhood periods. This structured output directly supports clinical diagnostic decision-making and report writing.
Can I use these tools alongside my existing clinical workflow?
Yes. ClientForms is designed to complement your existing practice. Send assessments before appointments to save session time, use auto-scored results to inform clinical discussions, and reference criterion groupings in your clinical documentation. The platform works with any practice management system.
Is my patient data safe?
All clinical data is stored in Australia (Sydney) on enterprise-grade infrastructure with AES-256 encryption. Australia provides comparable privacy safeguards to NZ under Information Privacy Principle 12. No data is sent to the US or EU. ClientForms is built to comply with the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and HIPC 2020.
