QM Certified Scoring (Insight)

QualityMetric's QM Certified Scoring (Insight) is ideal for organizations collecting SF™ health survey data that want to have their data scored accurately and efficiently by a patient-reported outcome (PRO) expert to facilitate correct interpretation.

How It Works

Datasets with survey responses are provided by the client to QualityMetric’s Outcomes Insight Consulting Division, in either Excel or SAS format. This team of world-renowned PRO scientists use proven scoring algorithms to score the datasets and identify any errors that may impact the scoring process or interpretation of results.

Key Features

  • Includes eight health domain scores, plus physical and mental component summary measures.
  • Applies Data Quality Evaluation (DQE) to proactively identify problems with data quality.
  • Provides Missing Score Estimation (MSE), formerly called Missing Data Estimation (MDE), which incorporates algorithms for calculating scores for partially completed surveys.
  • Includes a comprehensive report incorporating a summary of scores and results from the data quality evaluation.

Optional Features

  • Utility Index – for health economic evaluations.
  • Mental Health Inventory Conversion – improves measurement of mental health.
  • Medical Expense Predictor – for some surveys, this predicts health care expense risk for an individual, based on sample data and its corresponding percentile in the general population.

Note: Each client is responsible for accurate documentation of datasets provided to QualityMetric.

"The do-it-yourself approach to scoring can, and has, resulted in significant data quality problems. There are alarming examples of what can go wrong, and the results can be very costly."
