What does success mean to you? What standardized metrics do you use to measure that success? We are proud to highlight assessment tools created by our own faculty at Spaulding.
Heterotopic ossification (HO), the development of abnormal bone in the soft tissue, is a rare but severely debilitating complication of burn injuries. The Boston-Harvard Burn Injury Model System developed a risk scoring system that can be used to predict HO at the time of hospital admission.
CRS-R is a standardized neurobehavioral assessment measure designed for use in patients with disorders of consciousness. The scale is intended to be used to establish diagnosis, monitor behavioral recovery, predict outcome, and assess treatment effectiveness.
Most concussions can heal within two weeks with proper care, but the overwhelming majority of people don’t know what care and treatment should look like. Researchers at Spaulding partnered with TeachAids to solve this problem.
Depression & PTSD Risk for Burns
An admission scoring system that assesses the risk of development of depression or posttraumatic symptoms in the burn population.
Disorders of Consciousness Comprehensive Evidence-Based Assessment Battery (DOC COMPASS)
A single comprehensive resource for administration of a systematic evidence-based neurorehabilitation program for individuals with disorders of consciousness. Includes assessment and treatment tools appropriate for both clinical and research purposes.
Disorders of Consciousness Practice Guideline Knowledge Translation (KT) Project
A five-year NIDILRR-funded study aiming to evaluate the awareness, beliefs, and adoption of the 2018 evidence-based practice guidelines for the clinical management of individuals with acquired disorders of consciousness.
The EB-COP provides a systematic methodology for conducting more precise, evidence-based assessment of clinical outcome assessment measures (COAs) by evaluating performance within specific contexts of use (COUs).
