Creating Essential Metrics

At the top of the create page in the "Choose a template or start from scratch" section, select ‘Use the following template’ and type ‘Common Scales’ into the search box. You should see four available metrics:

  • Remission - Common Scales - measures the % of patients who see remission in at least one symptom during treatment episode.
  • Treatment Response OR Remission - Common Scales - measures the % of patients who see remission OR response to treatment in at least one symptom during treatment.
  • Treatment Episode Response - Common Scales - measures the % of patients who see response on at least one symptom.
  • Time To Treatment Episode Response - Common Scales - measures the average time taken to achieve treatment episode response on at least one common scale.

When you select the template in the dropdown. It will automatically populate all the appropriate configuration into the tool.

Find the "Save this metric and continue to track it" button and click it. You will be asked to select a name for the metric before you save it.
