Making a difference - are we measuring what matters?

Georg Supp, Felipe Lemos, Daniel Deutscher, Hiroto Hayashi, Hellen Myezwa
Session outline:

In physiotherapy, assessing patient outcomes is critical for guiding treatment, evaluating progress, and ensuring the efficacy of interventions. This discussion session explores the use of specific versus generic outcome measures, examining their relevance, application, and impact on clinical practice. It also explores the effect on patient adherence and collaboration using the different approaches.

By considering various stakeholders' perspectives, this session provides a comprehensive understanding of the advantages and challenges associated with patient outcomes.
