Why PCL-5 matters
The PCL-5 is the official 20-item PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, from Weathers and the National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD). Clinicians use it to screen and to monitor change during treatment.
Published studies support its reliability and validity (Blevins et al., 2015; Bovin et al., 2016).
Literature often discusses provisional-screen cutoffs around 31-33. The right threshold varies by population and purpose. Scores support clinical review. The software does not diagnose PTSD.
Convenient PCL-5 scoring and trends
Totals, item-level symptoms, and change over time stay on the same patient record.
Patient trends
The PCL-5 doesn't have to live in a separate workflow.
Keep PCL-5 results alongside other measures you already use, with patient-level trends and recurring measurement in one clinical outcomes workflow.
- PHQ-9
- GAD-7
- MID-60
- AUDIT-C
- DAST-10
- Custom
Recurring protocols, patient-level trends, and practice visibility on the same record.
