Description

Qualify an explicit psychiatric scale version and language code.

Mental-health records preserve instrument versions, recall wording, reporter roles, unknown responses and a person's own priorities. A missing code differs from a symptom rating, and a normalized preference is a scale position rather than a clinical urgency score. Recording these values does not assess mental state, diagnose a condition or choose care.

Qualify an explicit psychiatric scale version and language code.

When to use this tool

Use Psychiatry Scale Version Label when you already have scaleId, version, languageCode and need to qualify an explicit psychiatric scale version and language code.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter scaleId, version, languageCode. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter scaleId, version, languageCode using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

{
  "input": {
    "scaleId": "SC17",
    "version": "v2",
    "languageCode": "en"
  },
  "output": {
    "token": "[\"SC17\",\"v2\",\"en\"]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without scoring or validating a translation. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Consult the original instrument, language/version and reporter context for any substantive assessment. Preserve missing responses and user-selected goals explicitly; use the instrument's complete scoring process rather than treating one label or normalized preference as a clinical score.
