Word Reports are generated for the currently displayed patient from the buttons in the reporting section of the Case Manager:
You cannot generate a Report for the patient who is currently being interviewed, nor for a patient who has never been interviewed.
The content and style of the various reports is best appreciated in detail by trying them out. In summary, their content is as follows.
A Word document is displayed – and saved in the child’s documents folder (with a name on the pattern Report_000031 where 000031 is the child’s CaseID). The extended report includes:
background: basic details of child, referral, interviewer and interviewed
family’s account of presenting problems
the family and household members
the child’s history (medical, educational, developmental)
developmental normality: motor and language milestones, age at onset of ASD symptomatology
ASD outcomes according to DSM‑5:
from the ASD_extended assessment, a table of scores out of 100 for each of the symptomatic elements within Criteria A and B for ASD
because the ASD_brief assessment is a subset of the extended assessment, the extended report includes also a table of the outcomes of that assessment – as tallies out of 6 for each of the symptomatic elements within Criteria A and B for ASD. Tallies of 3 or more are in the abnormal range and summarised as “Criteria met / might-be-met / not-met”
Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SCD) scores according to DSM‑5:
a table of scores out of 6 for each of the elements within Criteria A and B for DSM-5 SCD (Criterion A has three elements, Criterion B has one)
each score tallies the number of positives among six questions probing impairing symptomatology
the questions contributing to the SCD scores can be visited using the routes DSM-5_SCD_Criterion_A and DSM-5_SCD_Criterion_B
According to your settings under Edit report preferences in the Case Manager, these further report elements will be included:
ASD outcomes according to ICD-10 and DSM-4 and derived from scores in the triad of behavioural domains (social reciprocity, communication, repetitive behaviours and interests):
the scores are based on the questions of the ASD_extended route (136 questions: ASD, 123; language development, 8; motor development 2; early symptomatology 2; early adaptive behaviour, 1)
the ASD diagnostic outcome is computed according to our amalgamation of ICD-10 and DSM-4 as expressed in the flowcharts found in the Reference folder of the 3di installation
A Word document is displayed – and saved in the child’s documents folder (with a name on the pattern ASD_000031 where 000031 is the child’s CaseID). The brief report includes:
background: basic details of child, interviewer and interviewed
developmental normality: motor and language milestones, age at onset of ASD symptomatology
ASD outcomes according to DSM‑5:
from the ASD_brief assessment, a table of tallies out of 6 for each of the symptomatic elements within Criteria A and B for ASD. Tallies of 3 or more are in the abnormal range and summarised as “Criteria met / might-be-met / not-met”
According to your settings under Edit report preferences in the Case Manager, these further report elements will be included:
ASD outcomes based on the 3-domain criteria of ICD-10 and DSM-4 (superseded WHO and APA criteria):
the scores are based on the questions of the ASD_brief route (61 questions: ASD, 53; language development, 7; early symptomatology 1).
the ASD diagnostic outcome is computed according to our amalgamation of ICD-10 and DSM-4 as expressed in the flowcharts found in the Reference folder of the 3di installation
A Word document opens outside the 3di covering whatever comorbidities you specify in the Comorbidities dialog. The document is saved in the child’s documents folder with a name on the pattern Comorbidities_000031, where 000031 is the child’s CaseID written as 6 digits.
If you use a report button to repeat the generation of the corresponding report, the new material will be appended to the existing document, so that you can see the effects of any interview responses you may have added or changed without the risk of over-writing any editing you might have done of the original document. By selective deletion, or copying and pasting elsewhere, you can quickly reduce the doubled-up report to preserve what you need from each part.
The most recent content in a report will always be at the end – so go straight there if you’re looking for the effects of adding or changing interview responses.
If you delete or rename an existing report, then a new document with the standard name is created when you repeat the generation of the report.
With the Responses recorded button you can generate a complete listing of the questions and entered responses for any Route you choose from the dropdown. The dropdown offers all the Routes provided by the 3di (System Routes), and all the Routes you have created yourself (Custom Routes). The creation of Custom Routes is described here.
Route reports open inside the 3di window as Access reports, from where they can be exported to the child’s documents folder as Word (.rtf), Excel (.xls) or Acrobat (.pdf) files. These reports are not editable within the 3di, and are not preserved unless exported – however, it’s a moment’s work to have them regenerated.
There are Routes corresponding to most computed diagnostic outcomes. A route report enables you to review all the interview responses which contributed to a particular computed outcome.
You can add narrative and detail to any final report you are preparing by copying and pasting from these exported reports.
Reports are available however few questions may have been answered. If only certain elements of a Report are of interest to you, just complete the related questions and ignore the rest. Where Report content depends on omitted questions, a result is generated from the available responses and you are given details of the omitted questions.
To find a patient’s reports (and to see other 3di outputs relating to the patient, including the Notes file), use the Find dropdown in the Case Manager to move to the patient’s record, then click the Go to documents button.
Remember that the buttons which generate reports do exactly that: they’re not the way to find existing reports!
Once a Report has been generated it has no further dependency on the 3di – you can edit it freely, rename, copy, move or delete it.
The 3di ASD reports can be navigated, pruned and reordered using a “tree” of the headings in the documents. In Word 2010 and later you can open the Navigation Pane: find this under the View ribbon, in the Show group. Click on Headings in the Navigation Pane. You can then:
go to any heading by clicking on the heading
see or hide the sub-headings of a heading by clicking on the triangular icon at the heading’s left
see or hide all sub-headings by right-clicking over any text in the navigation tree and choosing Expand all or Collapse all
delete a heading and all the document content belonging to that heading by right-clicking on the heading and choosing Delete
move a heading and all the document content belonging to that heading by dragging the heading to a new position in the navigation tree
In Reports you may want to remove from tables the columns listing omitted questions or similar material. You can use the Edit report preferences button in the Case Manager to ensure that such columns simply do not appear when the ASD_brief and ASD_extended reports are generated. However, you might want to remove the columns selectively from just some tables. Columns are easily eliminated like this:
while editing the document in Microsoft Word, move the pointer slowly down to the head of the unwanted column until the pointer assumes the appearance of a bold black stubby downward pointing arrow
right-click to open a context menu
choose Delete Columns
Route Reports are exported in Excel format and are more easily read and manipulated if you do the following:
reduce the widths of the first three columns
change the font colour to black for any column where you find the text is not distinct (right-click the column letter, eg F, and choose the font colour through the menus/icons offered)
click into cell C3 and then:
set-up Autofilter dropdowns for every column by using the shortcut <Ctrl + Shift + L>
on the View ribbon or toolbar choose Freeze panes (not Freeze top row or Freeze first column) so that the column headings in row 2 and the Section and Subsection labels in columns A and B remain visible when you scroll down or scroll right)
move up by one row the contents of the ResponseOrStatus and Note_Content columns so that they are in the same row as the text of the questions to which they relate – here’s how:
select cells F5 and G5 (click over one and drag to the other; or click into F5 and then <Shift + Click> over G5)
press <Alt + E> to pop-up the Delete dialog
select Shift cells up
click OK
you may then like to remove the now empty row which follows each row containing a Qid in column D:
<Ctrl + Click> on the row number of each empty row to highlight all and only the empty rows, then right-click over any one of the highlighted rows and choose Delete from the context menu which opens – you can do this a few rows at a time if a more ambitious approach is leading to errors!
for the most condensed arrangement at the cost of losing the Section and Subsection labels you might like to delete columns A and B and then delete the now empty rows the labels used to occupy – for which you can use the <Ctrl + Click> technique of the previous bullet
