Screening Activity: C-SSRS Dashboard Guide

The Screening Activity: C-SSRS dashboard displays de-identified, aggregated, real-time data information from all versions of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scales completed for participants. 

• The forms included are dependent on which versions are assigned to your organization and have at least one completed screen.

• The dashboard only displays information about screens that have been finalized and does not include forms that have not been started or are still in progress. 

• The screening date is based on when the task was completed, not the date the task was originally assigned.
