A HIPAA-compliant platform for online psychological assessment
Implicitify is HIPAA compliant. Clinicians use it to send published psychological measures to clients and to receive scored reports, under a business associate agreement (BAA).
Measures clinicians send most
- Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Depressive symptoms over the past two weeks.
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Anxiety symptoms over the past two weeks.
- Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1). ADHD symptoms in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive domains.
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5). Twenty questions about posttraumatic stress symptoms over the past month.
- Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT). The relationship pattern a person tends to repeat, scored from written narratives.
How client data is protected
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the rules for protected health information. Implicitify operates as a business associate under a signed BAA for covered practices. Patient links use opaque tokens, so a link carries no name or record number. Clients answer without creating a login. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on a private server.
The HIPAA page describes the safeguards in full. You can request a BAA before you send the first link.
From link to report
You pick one measure or several in the clinician portal and send a secure link. The client completes it on any device. Each measure is scored by its published rules, and the result appears in your dashboard with z-scores and percentiles where published comparison data exist. Reports save as PDFs for the record.
What the reports are, and are not
Reports describe scores and what they mean for people who score in that range. They are not diagnoses. Clinical judgment, an interview and the client's history remain the basis for any diagnosis or treatment decision.
