SYNOPSIS:

This presentation will take a “fast ride” through the world of the measurement systems which make up HealthMeasures, a repository of NIH-sponsored instrument systems, including the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), the NIH Toolbox for the Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function, and others. We will start with a brief look at item response theory (IRT) and how it is used to power Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) — the delivery system which underlies PROMIS and the NIH Toolbox. These systems enable brief, yet accurate, measurement of patients, and ready research components for research, with particular value for inclusion in large scale efforts such as Precision Medicine and ECHO. We will spend a bit of extra time looking at the instruments which makeup the NIH Toolbox Cognition battery — a set of instruments which take only 3-7 minutes each to administer — replacing a complete neuropsychological battery in as little as 30 minutes!
