The ASI tab lists all previous ASI interviews and makes it easy to view
either the item report or narrative report for a selected interview.
To help with ASI performance measure compliance, the interval since the
last interview is displayed. New views of ASI data are the "Domain
Scores" and "Item Trends" buttons, which present graphical and tabular
data across multiple interviews. The Domain Scores button gives the
user the opportunity to see either problem severity ratings or
evaluation factor scores. The Item Trends button displays responses to
selected individual items. It is hoped that these data views will help
with treatment planning and treatment outcome monitoring. A user-
friendly interface for entering interview data is provided. This tab
enables staff to quickly enter data, to easily jump from one item to
another, and to enter free text comments at any time. This tab should
greatly reduce data entry time, whether transcribing interview results

The GAF tab affords the user an easy way to enter GAF ratings and to
see previous ratings, which are graphed to indicate trends. When
entering a new rating, the rating is associated with the GAF rating
criteria. It is hoped this association will increase the reliability
of ratings and reduce inter-rater variability in the assignment of GAF
ratings.
