Events : latest events : Outcome in Brain Injury Rehabilitation

There is increasing evidence that neurorehabilitation services yield positive outcomes in reducing the effect of cognitive, functional, psychosocial, emotional and behavioural problems amongst people with brain injury. However, measuring outcome remains a complex challenge to which there

is no single solution. There is not a definitive measure suitable for all services; instead services pick and chose a ‘basket’ of outcome measures. The basket is then used to answer a range of different questions regarding outcome asked by service users, their families, clinicians and commissioners.

Traditionally, change on measures reflecting good quality clinical outcomes and improved quality of life as a consequence of neurorehabilitation has been the focus of attention. However, as we move into a period of economic uncertainty, interest in financial outcomes has been increasingly thrown into the spotlight. There is therefore an absolute need to employ the best quality measures possible in order to demonstrate both positive clinical outcome and that services themselves deliver ‘best value for money’.

The National Brain Injury Centre, part of St Andrew’s Healthcare Northampton, is proud to bring together leading figures in neurorehabilitation to share their vision of how the latest developments in outcome measurement may be used to evidence the benefits of brain injury rehabilitation.
