Definition
A self-report outcome measure of functional status for patients 14 years+ with elbow, wrist, hand impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO (elbow, wrist and hand) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.
Numerator
Patient Level: The residual functional status score for the individual patient (residual scores are the actual change scores - predicted change after risk adjustment). Individual Clinician Level: The average of residuals in functional status scores in patients who were treated by a clinician in a 12 month time period for elbow, wrist and hand impairment. Clinic Level: The average of residuals in functional status scores in patients who were treated by a clinic in a 12 month time period for elbow, wrist and hand impairments.
Denominator
All patients 14 years and older with elbow, wrist or hand impairments who have initiated rehabilitation treatment and completed the FOTO (elbow, wrist and hand) PROM.
