Clinical Outcome Reports
Praxi's outcome reports help you demonstrate treatment effectiveness, track client progress, and meet reporting requirements for funders and accreditation bodies.
Individual client outcome report
Generate a report for a single client:
- Open the client's record
- Navigate to the Assessments tab
- Click Generate Outcome Report
- Select:
- Date range — entire treatment period or a custom range (for example, last 6 months)
- Instruments to include (for example, PHQ-9, GAD-7, K-10)
- Click Generate
The report includes:
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Score trends | Line graphs showing all administrations over the selected period |
| Pre/post comparison | Baseline versus most recent score with severity classification |
| Reliable change analysis | Whether improvement exceeds measurement error (RCI method) |
| Clinical significance | Whether the client moved from clinical to non-clinical range |
| Summary narrative | Plain-language summary suitable for GP letters or case notes |
Aggregate practice outcome report
Analyse outcomes across your entire practice:
- Navigate to Grow > Reports > Clinical Outcomes
- Configure:
- Date range
- Instrument (for example, PHQ-9 across all clients)
- Filter by practitioner, diagnosis, or funding source
- Click Run Report
The aggregate report shows:
- Mean pre- and post-treatment scores across all clients
- Percentage of clients showing reliable improvement
- Percentage of clients achieving clinical significance
- Effect size (Cohen's d) for the overall treatment effect
- Distribution chart showing score changes across clients
Practitioner outcome report
Compare outcomes by practitioner for supervision and quality improvement:
- Navigate to Grow > Reports > Practitioner Outcomes
- Select the instrument and date range
- The report compares average score improvement, reliable improvement rate, and session-to-improvement ratio per practitioner
Funder-formatted reports
Generate outcome reports formatted for specific funding bodies:
| Funder | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Medicare | Better Access outcome data for Mental Health Treatment Plan reviews |
| NDIS | Progress against plan goals with supporting outcome data |
| WorkCover | Treatment progress and return-to-work readiness |
Select the relevant funder preset in the report builder to apply the required format automatically.
Uses for outcome data
| Purpose | Example |
|---|---|
| Clinical | Identify clients not progressing; guide treatment adjustments |
| Administrative | Demonstrate practice effectiveness to referrers and funders |
| Accreditation | Provide evidence of quality for APS or hospital credentialing |
| Marketing | Publish anonymised aggregate statistics to build credibility |
Data privacy
Only anonymised aggregate data may be shared publicly. Individual outcome data requires client consent before sharing with third parties.
Tips
- Run aggregate outcome reports quarterly to monitor practice-level performance
- Use individual outcome reports when preparing for MHTP review appointments with GPs
- The reliable change index (RCI) is the clinically recommended standard for measuring meaningful change — see Interpreting Results for detail on RCI thresholds
