You can enter a Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) score through CPRS. To enter a GAF score, two things are required:
· You must have the Mental Health package and two specific Mental Health patches installed.
· Your location must be a mental health clinic.
The GAF tab is on the Encounter frame so you must be creating or editing a progress note to enter a GAF score.
The GAF tab has
· A display of as many as 5 previous scores, if available, including the score, date determined, the name of the person that determined the score, and a comment, which is used only if a score was entered in error.
· Places to enter a new score, date, and person who determined the score
· A Reference Information button that launches your web browser to bring up a web page that describes the GAF score.
