Overall Adult Health

The standard set

The ICHOM Standard Set for Overall Adult Health, is the result of hard work by a group of leading physicians, measurement experts, and patient advisors. It represents the outcomes that matter most to adults who have Good health/No disease, Well controlled disease and Poorly controlled disease . We urge all providers around the world to start measuring these outcomes to better understand how to improve the lives of their service users.

  1. Defined by Self-reported Health Status
  2. Defined by Physical Health/Well-being/Physical Functioning
  3. Defined by Functional Health Status/Disability/Autonomy/Dependence/Activities of Daily Living
  4. Defined by Role/(Psycho) Social Functioning
  5. Defined by Interpersonal Functioning
  6. Defined by Work Related Functioning/Limitations
  7. Tracked via the PROMIS Scale v1.2- Global Health
  8. Tracked via the WHO (Five) Wellbeing Index (WHO5)
  9. Tracked via the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHO-DAS 12)
  10. Outcomes will not have an individual score
