There are several large initiatives that have potential to create a paradigm shift in the way outcomes measurement is practiced. These include the PROMIS, Neuro-QOL and adaptations for rehabilitation populations, the TBI-QOL and SCI-QOL and all have been developed using innovative item banking procedures and Item Response Theory. All of these scales utilized extensive qualitative data from patients and clinicians to help ensure clinical relevance and each system measures a broad spectrum of physical, mental, cognitive, and social domains of functioning. The final scales can be administered via Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) or traditional short forms. They will not only impact outcomes assessment in clinical trials but can also provide meaningful assessment that could impact clinical practice. The talk is appropriate for anyone interested in outcomes research, using NIH developed measures in grant applications, or new assessment techniques that can improve clinical practice.<\/p>\n
David Tulsky, Ph.D. is a Professor in Physical Therapy and Directs a Center on Assessment Research and Translation at the University of Delaware. Dr. Tulsky has had numerous grants to develop outcomes measures from the NIH, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, Department of Defense, and the VA Rehabilitation Research and Development program.<\/p>\n
The Innovative Discoveries Series, sponsored by the Delaware Clinical & Translational Science ACCEL program and the Christiana Care Value Institute, features informal presentations on topics relevant to current research and healthcare practice, led by knowledgeable and experienced presenters. There are offerings for researchers, healthcare providers, and community members of varying levels of experience.<\/p>\n
These free talks are held Fridays at noon at Christiana Hospital but can be viewed from your home or office computer. Earn CMEs by participating in-person or online. Lunch is served and all are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n
