    By measuring a patient’s functional health and well-being both pre- and post-treatment, QualityMetric’s SF health surveys can help assess the true benefits of a treatment or medical intervention. One example of this capability is reported by CBS News. The report highlights how a common and expensive surgical procedure was found to be unnecessary, a determination made with the help of QualityMetric’s SF-36® Health Survey.

    Read the original article on this Vertebroplasty study in the August 6, 2009 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
