What kind of constructs do Clinician Based Outcome Measures primarily assess?

Clinician-Based Outcome Measures are primarily designed to assess clinical measurements that are directly observed and quantified by healthcare professionals. This includes measurable data such as strength, balance, mobility, and other objective health indicators that clinicians can evaluate through tests and observations. These measures focus on the physical aspects of a patient's condition and are typically used in clinical settings to track progress, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and inform clinical decisions.

While patient-reported health status, environmental factors, and economic influences are important components of a comprehensive healthcare evaluation, they fall under different types of outcome measures. Patient-reported outcomes focus on the individual's perception of their health, while environmental and economic factors may be assessed through other frameworks but do not align with the direct clinical observations made by a clinician. Hence, the emphasis on objective, quantifiable data underscores the primary function of Clinician Based Outcome Measures.
