Infusing Outcomes Measurement into Clinical Practice
Outcomes Measurement Database
The Rehabilitation Measures Database (www.rehabmeasures.org) was developed to help clinicians and researchers identify reliable and valid instruments used to assess patient outcomes during all phases of rehabilitation. The database provides evidence-based summaries that include concise descriptions of each instrument’s psychometric properties, instructions for administering and scoring each assessment as well as a representative bibliography with citations linked to PubMed abstracts. Whenever possible, we have also included a copy of the instrument for the users to download or information about obtaining the instrument. The database would not be possible without funding from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education (grant award H133B090024).
