How Clinical Psychology works in SkillScorer
Score
Each clinician in a practice is scored on the Clinical Psychology skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank clinicians, compare two side by side, or compare your practices against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Clinical Psychology skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's practice.
Clinical Psychology scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Clinical Psychology scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Clinical Psychology scorecard covers 10 skills: Clinical Interviewing and Rapport Building, Assessment, Diagnosis and Psychometrics, Case Formulation and Treatment Planning, Delivery of Cognitive Behavioural and Other Evidence-Based Therapies, Risk Assessment and Safety Planning, Outcome Monitoring and Progress Review, Ethics, Boundaries and Confidentiality, Report Writing and Communication with Referrers, Cultural Competence and Inclusive Practice and Reflective Practice and Use of Supervision. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are clinicians scored in Clinical Psychology?
Every clinician is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one practice and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Clinical Psychology?
Clinical Psychology starts with these levels (called “Career Stage” in the app): Student, Provisional, Registered, Senior Clinician, Clinical Supervisor and Clinical Director. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Clinical Psychology skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In psychology & counselling the app talks about clinicians, practices and senior clinicians, and you can change any of those words too.
