Assessment of change in outcome measurement

Performance of Routine Outcome Measures in Adult Mental Health Care

“…Thus, of the nine problems listed, three accounted for approximately 74% of the ratings. This is similar to findings elsewhere: the same three choices jointly accounted for 46% of all item 8 assessments in the Victorian HoNOS field trial [22] and for 68% in the Victorian ‘Round One’ data [20].…”

“…The Cronbach's α values for the whole scale (i.e. all 16 items) was 0.89 which is identical to that found in the Victorian Round I data [20].…”

“…all 12 items) was 0.80. This is considerably higher than the values of 0.72 in the Victorian Round I study [20], 0.73 in the Stedman et al study [21] and 0.75 in the Victorian HoNOS field trial [22].…”

Consumer and Service Determinants of Completion of a Consumer Self-Rating Outcome Measure

“…The aforementioned results show that age, HoNOS total and subscale scores, and LSP total and subscale scores were separately associated with the likelihood of completing a BASIS at review. However, all these variables are correlated to some degree 16 . In order to assess their independent effects simultaneously, a further analysis (logistic regression) was conducted.…”

Improving national hospice/palliative care service symptom outcomes systematically through point-of-care data collection, structured feedback and benchmarking

“…In the service feedback report for January–June 2009, PCOC introduced eight casemix adjusted relative mean improvement (CARMI) [ 15 ] measures for each of the measures in the clinician-rated Palliative Care Problem Severity Score (pain, other symptoms, family/carer problems and psychological/spiritual problems) and for four items in the patient- (or proxy-) rated Symptom Assessment Score (pain, nausea, breathing problems and bowel problems). The CARMI is a risk-adjustment methodology that measures the difference between the change in pain and symptom scores achieved and what was expected.…”
