Questionnaire questions

Updated on May 12, 2021

You can use a variety of question types and formats in your questionnaire, including questions with single answers and questions with multiple answers. This enables care managers to capture the necessary details from the patients or members and use that data to automate a patient's record with the next steps to help the member or patient toward better health.

When you use a question with a single answer in a questionnaire, a patient can only provide a single response. However, you can apply several formats for this question type, such as a text box or radio buttons. When you need to capture more details, you might create questions with multiple answers so that the patient can provide more information when necessary.

The following table lists the question types with single answers, describes their differences, and provides examples:
