Scientific Heritage

The numbers speak volumes: 76,000,000 surveys taken, 19,000 licenses issued, cited in more than 17,000 peer-reviewed articles, referenced in over 1,900 randomized clinical trials, more than 140 translations, and 35 label claims. QualityMetric's health surveys – generic and disease-specific – are the most widely used measures of functional health and well-being in the world. If you are interested in learning more about patient-reported outcomes and how to use this data, QualityMetric is the place to start.

QualityMetric is currently home to many highly trained, multidisciplined experts that include both scientists and consultants. Collectively they have decades of experience researching, studying, and developing patient-reported outcomes. This talented and hard-working staff has extensive training in psychometrics, psychology, public health, sociology, Item Response Theory, clinical medicine, epidemiology, economics, and more. Our scientists focus primarily on new product development, while our consultants focus on helping clients collect, understand, and apply the results of their outcomes data.

The best way to learn about the science behind our surveys is to peruse QualityMetric's Outcomes Resource Library. This searchable resource includes abstracts from peer-reviewed articles, white papers, case studies, scientific posters, and webinars developed over the years by our experts.
