Abstract
Keywords
Introduction
- •Assessment of individual provider performance
- •Research on effectiveness rather than efficacy of treatments
- •Establishment of baseline pre-operative health status of patients
- •Reduction of health inequalities
PROMs in oral surgery
- •Validity: does the instrument measure what it is intended to measure?
- •Reliability: does the instrument consistently generate reproducible scores?
- •Responsiveness (sensitivity): does the measure detect clinically meaningful changes over time?
- •Acceptability: is the measure suitable for its intended purpose?
- •Interpretability: are the results measurable and clinically relevant?
