This appendix details the steps that must be undertaken in the Cúram Administration Application to configure an assessment that uses Cúram Express Rules (CER) to produce results that lead to activity recommendations for use in an outcome plan. CER is typically used for more complex assessments where the assessment logic may not be encompassed in the CDA decision matrix. In this example, the reader is going to be shown the steps that need to be followed in order to use a CER based assessment with an outcome plan. These steps are the same regardless of the size and complexity of the IEG script used to capture the answers to the questions and the complexity of the CER rules used to execute the assessment logic. Therefore, this example will employ a very straightforward IEG script consisting of a single page and question only, and an equally straightforward CER rule set producing a single outcome based on the answer to the question posed in the IEG script. Neither the IEG script or the CER rule set are to be considered as something that could ever be employed in a real world situation. This example does not set out to describe how to use either IEG or the CER Rules Editor. Some information, relevant to the example, will be provided in the use of these tools, however for more detailed information please consult the appropriate documentation.
This example is based on an assessment used with a back to work type of outcome plan. The assessment is used to determine a client's basic literacy based on the answer to a single question, "Are you able to read and write and do basic math?". The answer provided to this question, either yes or no, is used to determine the type of activities that should be recommended to the client on their back to work outcome plan.
