When the message is sent to the patient
Assessment using GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) 7 item score (procedure)
SCTID: 445598007
When the patient completes the questionnaire

S1
Anxiety Screening Using Questions
CTV3 code: Xab9F
[Free text] GAD-7 score: [score]
A technical limitation means we cannot yet code the GAD-7 score directly into S1. We are working to fix this issue. While we do this, we have configured MJOG to code to S1 that a depression screening has been completed, and free text the score alongside. This issue is not present in EMIS.
