Overview

MeasurePM offers an ABC Data collection feature which can be accessed across the web and Mobile-App. On the web, users are able to set site defaults, make client by client configurations for ABC Data collection, review ABC records, and generate conditional probability charts and graphs. On the Mobile-App clinicians can take ABC Data records, view those records, and conduct conditional probabilities analyses with the data taken.

This Guide was developed to provide MeasurePM users with an overview of all ABC data collection features.

Configuring ABC Data Collection on the Web

When setting up your site, users with permission will be able to configure your facility settings as well as configure client-specific programming settings. This section of the guide will focus on establishing your facility settings.

Your facility settings refer to the clinical defaults that will be available when creating and editing programs and behaviors and when editing client profiles. Part of this set up includes configuring your default ABC Data recording options. The options you configure will be automatically added to all new profiles moving forward, however providers will be able to modify these on a client basis.

To set up your defaults, select Settings from the Clinical Settings dropdown menu from the lefthand navigation bar.  

Default ABC Data Settings

Once on the Settings tab, there will be options to add and activate/deactivate ABC Data Antecedents, ABC Data Consequences, ABC Data Settings Events, ABC Data Locations, and ABC Data People. All items entered here will appear in each new client’s ABC data collection by default. Note that new properties entered in settings will not effect any exisiting client profiles, but will effect new profiles going forward. 

• To add a property, select the + icon beside a field. 
• Enter the property name in the text box, and Save. 
• Once saved the property name will appear in the list. 
• If you do not wish to save the property, select the - icon to the left hand side. 
• Note that after saving you cannot delete the property, but you can inactivate it. 
• By default all added properties will be active, however you can deactivate them at any point by unselecting the active checkbox. 
  • Active= Property will be added to all new clinical profiles going forward. 
  • Inactive= The property will remain in any profile that already has it, but it will not be added to new clinical profiles going forward.  

Please note that setting these defaults is optional and they can be added on the Mobile-App by the user as needed.

Configuring ABC Data Collection Settings by Client 

Although you may have site defaults, users will have the option to override these defaults and make customizations on a client-by-client basis under the client profile. Accessing the Client Profile can be done in 2 ways.
