Scores and assessments

MedJot carries a set of scoring tools. Each is completed in a modal and writes its result into the report text, so the score and the reasoning behind it end up in the record together.

They are reached from the clinical tools grid, and several also appear inline in the section they belong to.

The scores

ToolWhat it isWhere
Wells score (PE)Pulmonary embolism probabilityClinical tools grid
Wells score (DVT)Deep vein thrombosis probabilityClinical tools grid
AMT-10Abbreviated Mental Test, cognitive screeningClinical tools grid
MMSEMini-Mental State ExaminationClinical tools grid
PHQ-9Depression severityClinical tools grid; Mental Health presentation
Cranial nervesStructured cranial nerve examinationClinical tools grid
TICLSPaediatric assessment triangle — Tone, Interactivity, Consolability, Look, SpeechChild Medical presentation
4Hs / 4TsReversible causes in cardiac arrestCardiac Arrest presentation

Two more scores live in the sections they belong to rather than the grid:

  • GCS — in the Primary Survey (Disability) and in each observation set, always scored by E/V/M component.
  • NEWS2 — derived automatically from each observation set. See NEWS2.

The Clinical Frailty Scale has its own page.

How scoring works

Answer the items; the score updates as you go. When you save, the result and its components go into the report.

The consistent rule: an incomplete assessment does not produce a total. As with GCS and NEWS2, a score that quietly treated unanswered items as normal would be a fabrication, so MedJot shows you what is outstanding instead.

Scores and the AI tools

Completed scores form part of the structured findings sent to the AI tools, which is what lets a differential list take account of a Wells score you already calculated rather than reasoning without it.

A word on what a score is

These are screening and probability instruments. MedJot calculates and records them; it does not interpret them, does not recommend a disposition on the strength of one, and does not flag a score as concerning. That reading is yours.
