Abstract
Objective: To explore the way in which standardised measurement tools are used in day-to-day clinical practice
Design: Non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews
Setting: Hospital based adult neurorehabilition unit
Participants: The multi-disciplinary team delivering rehabilitation in the unit
Results: The multi-disciplinary used the measurement tools internally to establish the presence and severity of the patient’s impairments and activity limitations; predict recovery and discharge destination; inform treatment planning and monitor progress. They were used externally to demonstrate service effectiveness; communicate with patients, families and external agencies; enable other providers to plan continuing care and resource needs, and inform audit and service development.
Conclusion: When used in everyday clinical practice by a multi-disciplinary neuro-rehabilitation team, standardised measures were used to support and inform clinical decision-making.
