Common Metrics vs. Measures: PROMIS Physical Function as an Exemplar
Presenters:
Aaron Kaat, PhD, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois USA
Gregor Liegl, PhD, Charité –Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany
Moderator: Jason Raad, PhD, University of Pittsburgh
There are many different outcome measures that quantify the same or similar constructs. This heterogeneity makes it challenging to conduct large-scale research and quality measurement. Requiring uniformity of measure selection may not always be practical. Instead, measures can be placed on the same metric, allowing commensurate scoring. PROMIS Physical Function T-score metric will be used as an exemplar metric on which scores from other measures can be placed and commonly understood. Both linking of other patient-reported outcome measures and performance-based measures will be discussed.
