Complement outcome measure assessments by tracking clients’ subjectively-defined goals.
GAS is a standardised method for determining how much progress a client has made towards individual goals over the course of an intervention. Unlike patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), GAS relies upon subjectively-defined goals—which are arrived at through consultation between client and clinician. Progress towards goals can be summarised numerically as a T-score.
Leaders in allied healthcare have raised serious concerns about clinicians failing to determine whether treatment gains are reliable (i.e. overly large to have occurred by chance) and clinically significant (i.e. resulting in movement to a normative range or away from a disordered range; Blampied, 2022; Lambert & Ogles, 2009; Wise, 2004).
Although methods have been developed to calculate reliable and clinically significant change, they are rarely used – due to being complex and time-consuming. Measurely solves this problem through a design that is scientific, user-friendly, and responsive to the characteristics of your patient population.
