“�We�believe�that�using�an�outcome�measurement�system�is�an�essential�practice�allowing�service�users�and�other�stakeholders�to�evaluate�our�services�and�allowing�us�to�improve�our�services�year�by�year.”Professor Michael Oddy, Director of Clinical Services, BIRT
Our�third�Outcome�Report�offers�critical�information�to�service�users�and�other�stakeholders,�such�as�family�members�and�commissioners,�about�the�changes�they�may�expect�during�and�following�rehabilitation.�We�use�the�outcome�measures�to�improve�our�services�and�for�scientific�research�on�brain�injury�rehabilitation.�As�can�be�seen�from�this�report�all�information�is�in�an�anonymised�form.
Each�year�we�evaluate�the�usefulness�of�our�measures;�in�2011�we�added�new�measures�appropriate�for�our�current�service�users.�Our�aim�is�to�find�measurement�tools�that�are�sensitive�to�the�changes�our�service�users�wish�to�achieve�and�help�support�the�decision�making�process�when�choosing�a�brain�injury�service�provider.
The�measures�we�have�chosen�are�widely�used,�standardised�instruments�with�good�psychometric�properties.�Feedback�from�stakeholders�about�the�usefulness�of�this�report�is�welcomed�and�should�be�forwarded�to�[email protected]
