Completed
The ICHOM Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures for Hand & Wrist Conditions is the result of hard work by a group of leading physicians, measurement experts and patients. It is our recommendation of the outcomes that matter most to patients with hand & wrist conditions. We urge all providers around the world to start measuring these outcomes to better understand how to improve the lives of their patients.
Details
1 Patient-reported outcome
2 Evaluated via Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ)/ Patient-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE)/ Boston Carpal Tunnel
Questionnaire (BCTQ) and Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)
3 Evaluated via Goniometry and Kapandji Score (only used for the Thumb Track, Nerve Track and Severe Trauma Track where applicable)
4 Evaluated via hand-held dynamometer
5 Evaluated via Lateral/Key Pinch and Tip Pinch (not applicable for the wrist track)
6 Evaluated via Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) / Patient-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation
(PRWHE)/ Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ)
7 Evaluated via Weinstein Enhanced Sensibility Test (WEST)
8 Evaluated via Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity questionnaire (CISS) 9 Evaluated via Working Group-designed Return to Work tool
10 Evaluated via EQ-5D-5L
11 Evaluated via Working Group-designed satisfaction with treatment results tool
12 Evaluated via modified Clavien-Dindo Classification for hand surgery
13 Report of any repeat operation for the same condition in the same patient due to disease progression or recurrence, or as follow-up to failed previous surgery. Subsequently, description of new / additional treatment, (within final time point of tracks).
Key:
In addition to the core set there are 5 track specific tracks for each condition.
A= Regular Thumb Track B=Extended Thumb Track C= Regular Finger Track D= Extended Finger Track E= Regular Wrist Track
F= Extended Wrist Track
G= Regular Nerve Track
H= Extended Nerve Track
I= Severe Hand Trauma Track (a score of >50 in MHISS and evidence of 3> damaged structures are required for allocation to this track).
All of the basic information you need to implement ICHOM Sets is available in the links above. However, for a faster, more easily integrated process, we offer digitised versions of the Set measures. These are designed for immediate upload to existing EMR systems. This is available as part of our Accreditation package, which recognises your work in putting patient outcomes at the heart of treatment.
