Description
Label a symptom-diary rating with supplied scale wording.
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.
Label a symptom-diary rating with supplied scale wording.
When to use this tool
Use Symptom Diary Rating Unit when you already have entryId, rating, scaleWording and need to label a symptom-diary rating with supplied scale wording.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter entryId, rating, scaleWording. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty entryId/scaleWording; preserve the signed numeric rating in entry; rating=value [scale].1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| entryId | Entry Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| rating | Rating | Required. Finite number. |
| scaleWording | Scale Wording | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"entryId": "D17",
"rating": 3,
"scaleWording": "user scale 0–5"
},
"output": {
"label": "D17; rating=3 [user scale 0–5]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No scale range, symptom severity, diagnosis, risk or care recommendation is inferred.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
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.
