This unique collection of chapters from world experts on
person-centered outcome (PCO) measures addresses the following
critical questions: Can individual experiences be represented in
measurements that do not reduce unique differences to meaningless
uniformity? How person-centric are PCO measures? Are PCO
measurements capable of delivering the kind of quality assured
quantification required for high-stakes decision making? Are PCO
measures likely to support improved health care delivery? Have
pivotal clinical studies failed to deliver treatments for diseases
because of shortcomings in the PCO measures used? Are these
shortcomings primarily matters of precision and meaningfulness? Or
is the lack of common languages for communicating outcomes also
debilitating to quality improvement, research, and the health care
economy? Three key issues form an urgent basis for further
investigation. First, the numbers generated by PCO measures are
increasingly used as the central dependent variables upon which
high stakes decisions are made. The rising profile of PCO measures
places new demands for higher quality information from scale and
test construction, evaluation, selection, and interpretation.
Second, PCO measurement science has well-established lessons to be
learned from those who have built and established the science over
many decades. Finally, the goal in making a PCO measurement is to
inform outcome management. As such, it is vitally important that
key stakeholders understand that, over the last half century,
developments in psychometrics have refocused measurement on
illuminating clinically important individual differences in the
context of widely reproduced patterns of variation in health and
functioning, comparable scale values for quality improvement, and
practical explanatory models. This book's audience includes anyone
interested in person-centered care, including healthcare
researchers and practitioners, policy makers, pharmaceutical
industry representatives, clinicians, patient advocates, and
metrologists. This is an open access book.
