Patient Insights
Our health care system’s efforts to improve quality of care often lack an important element: the patient’s perspective on his or her own health. At OptumInsight, we capture reliable, practical, and scientifically valid information on the patient’s own functional health and well-being. These patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are used by life sciences companies throughout the product development lifecycle to measure success, prove value, and find opportunity. Increasingly, PROs are also being used by payers, providers, and government agencies to improve quality by measuring health outcomes from the patient’s point of view.

Disease-specific Health Surveys
QualityMetric’s disease-specific health surveys measure the impact of a particular disease on an individual’s functional health and well-being. These surveys gather vital patient-reported outcome data that is useful in identifying patients in need of treatment and assessing treatment effectiveness. They can also assess change in disease control over time in a variety of settings, including clinical practice, disease management, and clinical trials.
Disease-specific health surveys currently available include:
-
QualityMetric’s generic pediatric health surveys measure a child's overall health status, including physical functioning, social functioning, and mental health. They can be used alone, or with a disease-specific pediatric health survey to measure a child's health as it is affected by a particular condition or disease. They are practical, reliable, and valid, and are used across a variety of populations, as the questions are general enough to apply to individuals with diverse conditions.

Many of QualityMetric’s health surveys are the most widely used measures of functional health and well-being in the world, due in part to the number of different languages they are available in. Our translation process has as its goal the development of conceptually equivalent and culturally appropriate translations, obtained via professional and lay people fluent in the language for which the translation is being developed, as well as researchers with extensive translation experience.
