Dear Anoop,

For many years now I have been using a systemwide measure which has proven effective for measuring standard of care outcomes based on individual patient measures and moreover this model system of measurement permits for new interventions comparison to the standard of care employing and RCT Case-series design format, which can take into account multiple levels of comorbidities and life events, etc.

It has been generalized from its original form to an application that can measure any intervention for any condition at multiple levels of complexity.


Two peer reviewed papers follow:

Finally, a recent amazon book brings this model in a practical way into the field of medical and allied professional education in terms of presenting case examples of how to bring measurement into every day clinical practice -https://www.amazon.co.uk/Objective-Skills-Clinical-Examination-Practice-ebook/dp/B07C65YYNF


Best of luck,
D

Hello group,

If anyone is familiar with International Classification of Function and Disability, do we have any performance measures of participation or disability than self-report measures like LLFDI?

At our research center, we use a 400m walk in 15 minutes to assess "mobility disability". But based on Nagi's/ICF, there is no interaction with the society or life situations in these tests and hence is a 'limitation'. The same goes with the question "are you able to walk 1/4 of a mile or climb a flight of stairs" to assess disability.  Any thoughts?

Thank you
Anoop
