Measuring Recovery Outcomes After a Fall Injury: Pragmatic Approach from Physiatry Perspective

This course will present participants with a conceptual framework and a practical patient-centered care approach for measuring outcomes of care in busy outpatient practices. The measurement system is based on the cardinal constructs of the core set of outcome measures recommended for the evaluation of patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as after a fall injury (i.e. pain quality, functional status changes, life quality/satisfaction, generic health status, and work disability). Examples of the measurement instruments to be discussed include: 1) Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PRO) such as the Self-Administered Co-Morbidity Questionnaire, Pain Disability Questionnaire, and the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) from the National Institute of Health (NIH) toolbox; and, 2) performance-based assessments (PBA) such as the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries (STEADI) initiative, 6-Minute Walk Test, and Short Physical Performance Battery.

Learning Objectives

  • Define the cardinal constructs of the core set of outcome measures for musculoskeletal conditions such as a Fall Injury
  • Understand the usefulness of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, performance-based assessments (PBA), and objective medical outcomes
  • Incorporate outcome measurement into outpatient practice to enhance value-based care.
