This inventory spreadsheet identifies available patient preference measurement tools from the literature to support the incorporation of patient preferences into PC CDS tools.
Developed by the AHRQ CDSiC Measurement and Outcomes Workgroup, this spreadsheet can be used by PC CDS developers, implementers, and evaluators with the accompanying report, the Measurement and Outcomes Workgroup: Inventory of Patient Preference Measurement Tools for PC CDS Report.
About the Inventory
Based on an environmental scan of the peer-reviewed and grey literature, the inventory report describes a list of 43 unique measurement tools and instruments used to elicit patient preferences related to their medical care that have been used in a clinical setting or integrated into clinical workflows.
The inventory allows users to identify patient preference measurement tools relevant to their needs and includes details about the following aspects of each instrument/tool:
- Delivery method
- Extent of adoption in healthcare
- Use population
- Condition/disease context
- Clinical setting
- Reliability
- Validity
How To Use This Inventory
Presented as a filterable and sortable spreadsheet, this inventory is intended for a wide variety of potential users with different perspectives, goals, and roles related to PC CDS. Potential users range from CDS developers, community hospitals to academic medical centers, researchers, health system informaticians, care team members, and patient partners, among others. Potential uses of this inventory include:
- Assisting PC CDS designers, developers, implementers, and evaluators in identifying measurement tools to implement in their systems or incorporate in the design and development of new PC CDS.
