Research published in the Quality of Life Research journal shows that the improved 8-item QGEN-8 significantly captures the QOL outcomes associated with increases in the severity of acute symptoms of respiratory disease with results comparable to the longer SF-36 survey...
QOL Disease-specific Impact Scale (QDIS®) enables more valid outcome measurements across chronic conditions
Disease-specific patient reported QOL outcome measures have been improved to have broader domain representation and standardized norm-based scoring for US population adults with chronic diseases...
Improved Quality of Life General (QGEN®) Short Form Survey Publishedby Medical Care Journal
The shortest possible, comprehensive patient reported outcome (PRO) profile, QGEN-8, uses a single newly constructed item to measure each of the eight SF-36 generic health-related quality of life (HRQOL) domains more broadly and over a wider range of score levels...
Our approach includes
Disease-specific PROs that reliably and validly standardize QOL content, scoring and norms across chronic conditions
Integration of the shortest possible core set of disease-specific and generic health-related quality of life measures; 1-minute for generic QOL and 1-3 minutes for comorbid conditions QOL.
More powerful survey logic that automatically adapts to the presence of multiple comorbid conditions
More efficient screening to customize survey content and length for each patient
Single-item-per-domain generic QOL scores that are comparable with metrics underlying the most widely used MOS short-form profile and physical and mental summary component scores.
Interpretation guidelines and clinician reports that focus on what is most important to patients.
New, more comprehensive and faster systems for monitoring quality of life outcomes
