Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Assessment Time Points

The tool supports intake, treatment planning, treatment review, discharge, and follow-up contexts through assessment time-point state.

Change Review

Change information appears only when there is a compatible prior OPD-2 rating. Without a baseline, the result is a current profile and focus plan.

Important Boundary

The tool does not generate automated OPD ratings or treatment strategy. Those remain clinician-entered clinical work.

Can OPD-2 be used for change measurement?

Yes. OPD-2 repeated ratings can show change when compatible ratings are available across treatment points.

What if there is no baseline assessment?

The tool shows diagnostic and focus-planning information without making change claims.

Does OPD-2 include direct client completion in this product?

No. The supported configuration is clinician-led interview and clinician-rated assessment.
