Outcomes can be assigned to assessment factors. If an assessment uses a CDA matrix to derive the results , CDA outcomes must be mapped directly to assessment factors. This differs slightly depending on how the CDA matrix for the assessment is configured. If the CDA question matrix is scored with outcomes specified for each answer, these outcomes will be presented to the administrator when mapping the outcome to the factor for the assessment. For example, in the CSN decision matrix, scores are assigned for each question/answer value. These scores are also mapped to the various CSN assessment outcomes. When selecting an outcome for the assessment factor substance abuse, the outcome that has been specified in the decision matrix (CSN Substance Abuse) is presented to the administrator for selection.
Mapping outcomes to factors for assessments that are not based on scoring is slightly different. If assessment outcomes are not specified for the answer values in the assessment question matrix, the administrator selects the required outcome for each factor classification from the list of available outcomes for the assessment.
