Integration details →Adult ADHD Assessment Profile
6 instruments. 29 minutes. One patient session.
The Adult ADHD Assessment Profile sends ASRS, WURS-25, WFIRS-S, PHQ-9, GAD-7, and AQ-10 in one patient link. Results return with DSM-5 symptom counts, childhood history, 7-domain functional impairment, and comorbidity screens scored and charted before the appointment.
Built from 6 validated instruments: ASRS (DSM-5 symptoms), WURS-25 (childhood history), WFIRS-S (7 functional domains, Weiss, 2000), PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), AQ-10 (autism comorbidity). 138 items total.
DSM-5 symptom endorsement with inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscale counts — a screening picture, not a diagnosis.
Relationship Health Profile
6 instruments. ~28 minutes per partner. One comparison report.
Both partners complete the same battery independently. ClientForms generates a side-by-side radar chart comparing satisfaction, communication, trust, and shared meaning — identifying where perceptions diverge before the first session.
Supporting whanaungatanga — relationship connections are central to hauora. The comparison report highlights areas of alignment and divergence, giving clinicians a structured starting point for couples work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ClientForms HIPC compliant?
ClientForms is built to comply with the Health Information Privacy Code 2020 (HIPC) and the NZ Privacy Act 2020. All clinical data is hosted in Sydney, Australia with AES-256 encryption, meeting NZ cross-border requirements under IPP 12. See our full NZ compliance page for details on all 13 Information Privacy Principles.
Does ClientForms work with Cliniko?
Yes. ClientForms is a Cliniko Connected App. Assessment results are automatically written into Cliniko treatment notes with the full PDF report attached. Your patient list syncs from Cliniko, and the integration is included on every plan — including the free tier.
What assessments are available for NZ psychologists?
Over 200 validated instruments covering depression (DASS-21, PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), ADHD (DSM-5 diagnostic interview, ASRS, WURS-25), autism (AQ-10, GQ-ASC), trauma (PCL-5, ITQ), personality, eating disorders, substance use, and more. All tools are instantly scored with clinical severity bands.
Is HIPAA the same as HIPC?
No. HIPAA is the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPC is the NZ Health Information Privacy Code 2020, operating under the NZ Privacy Act 2020. They serve similar purposes — protecting health information — but are separate legal frameworks. ClientForms complies with both HIPC (for NZ) and HIPAA (for US practitioners).
Does ClientForms support couples assessments?
Yes. The Relationship Health Profile combines 6 validated instruments (CSI-32, PRQC, Brief-PPR, CPQ-SF, Trust Scale, RFS) into a ~28-minute battery completed independently by each partner. ClientForms generates a side-by-side radar chart comparing satisfaction, communication, trust, and shared meaning — identifying where perceptions diverge before the first session.
