Questionnaire: Braden Scale Capture Form

Official URL: https://opennursingcoreig.com/Questionnaire/onc-braden-questionnaire Version: 1.0.0
Draft as of 2026-07-10 Computable Name: ONCBradenQuestionnaire

SDC questionnaire for the Braden pressure-ulcer risk assessment: six subscales, total score, and a mandatory Monk Skin Tone item (the equity fairness gate is embedded at the capture layer). Coded items extract to Observations using the ONC Braden component codes; assembling them into the single component-based ONCBradenScaleAssessment Observation (including hasMember[skinTone]) is the capturing app's responsibility.
