The FAM (Functional Assessment Measure) was developed as an adjunct to the FIM to specifically address the major functional areas that are relatively less emphasized in the FIM, including cognitive, behavioral, communication and community functioning measures. The FAM consists of 12 items. 1. Overview and Description. An Outcome Measure is a qualitative or quantitative measurement of outcome, 1 generally in response to a rehabilitation intervention in the context of physiatry, 2 and will be referred to as Rehabilitation Measure of Outcome (RMO) in this article. RMOs are vital to the practice of evidence-based medicine, and can be understood in the context of the World . Measures of Health –a quick typology • Mortality-based measures –death rates, life expectancies, etc. • Morbidity-based measures –indicators –health status measures •disease-, organ-specific •“Generic” health status KEY: multiple scales to cover broad scope . Construction management software: This software is designed for construction managers to help them more efficiently run a construction project; it can include features to manage accounting and financials, documentation, and team workloads. Dimension: A dimension is used in the planning stage and refers to a measure between two points.

Attachment A. Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ): Administration and Scoring. The FAQ is an informant-based measure of functional abilities. Informants provide performance ratings of the target person on 10 complex, higher-order activities. Individual Items of the Functional Activities Questionnaire. Client and Aggregate Reports. Page two illustrates the initial TOP administration results in a Summary Scoring Graph, identifying the level of severity in each of the 12 measured clinical dimensions. The most effective way to improve the quality of care is to measure it, compare benchmarked results, and adapt. Benchmarking is critical. The OPTN is operated under contract with the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). This Web site provides data and educational information about organ donation, transplantation and the matching process. A credit risk is risk of default on a debt that may arise from a borrower failing to make required payments. In the first resort, the risk is that of the lender and includes lost principal and interest, disruption to cash flows, and increased collection loss may be complete or partial. In an efficient market, higher levels of credit risk will be associated with higher borrowing costs.

Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of , a productivity measure is expressed as the ratio of an aggregate output to a single input or an aggregate input used in a production process, i.e. output per unit of input, typically over a specific period of time. Most common example is the (aggregate) labour productivity measure, e.g., such as GDP per worker. In , the ratio between the income of the top and bottom 20 percent of the world's population was three to one. By , it was eighty-six to one. A study titled "Divided we Stand: Why Inequality Keeps Rising" by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) sought to explain the causes for this rising inequality by investigating economic inequality in OECD.

Functional Status Questionnaire Overview: The Functional Status Questionnaire can be used as a self-administered functional assessment for a patient seen in primary care. It provides information on the patient’s physical, psychological, social and role functions.

It can be used both to screen initially for problems and to monitor the patient.

Hofstede applied these insights about level of analysis in measure design to overcome a problem that he had encountered when trying to create individual-level measures and aggregate the measures to the nation level.

Functional Status Examination (FSE); a new measure of change in activities of everyday life as a function of an event or illness, has demonstrated reliability, validity, and sensitivity for monitoring recovery and assessing functional status in TBI, even long after the injury and in a mostly moderately injured group, particularly family burden.

ASTM's cement and concrete standards are instrumental in the evaluation and testing of concrete, cement, and aggregates.

Concrete can have different properties depending upon the mixture that is used in creating it, which contains cement, chemical admixtures, and aggregates. Functional Status Score for the ICU (FSS-ICU) To assess functional status of patients in an Intensive Care Unit. 5-item Protocol: • Rolling • Supine to sit • Unsupported sitting at the edge of the bed • Sit to stand • Ambulation –An ordinal scale is used for scoring (1:total assist to 7:complete independence).

Functional status assessment is fundamental to geriatric care. Function, the ability to manage daily routines, can not be well-correlated with medical diagnoses or length of the problem list. A change in functional status is often the only or the first sign of illness or exacerbation of a chronic condition.

OBJECTIVE —To compare the ability of generic comorbidity and risk adjustment measures, a diabetes-specific measure, and a self-reported functional status measure to explain variation in health care expenditures for individuals with diabetes.

A research-backed outcomes measurement tool, the Daily Living Activities — brought to you by MTM Services and the National Council for Behavioral Health — measures the daily living areas impacted by mental illness or disability.

The DLA supports the functional assessment data. Often, when working with a compilation of scores for an individual, you will need to create relative aggregate scores.

Aggregate scores allow us to compare achievements in many different subjects by weighting the scores according to how important each score is. Once you have decided how important different kinds of. Aggregate scores are compiled as a percentage of the total points possible, using the RAND scoring table (STEP I chart).

The scores from those questions that address each specific area of functional health status (STEP II chart) are then averaged together, for a final score within each of the 8 dimensions measured. The BeCare Link App supports the management of Multiple Sclerosis by collating performance data we believe will be found clinically equivalent to gold standard measurements of neurological and functional status collected by healthcare professionals.

To demonstrate this equivalence, BeCare is currently sponsoring a large clinical trial that is being conducted in a major hospital system. Quantity Take-Off: Developed during the pre-construction phase, a quantity take-off measures the materials and labor needed to complete a project.

Labor Hour: The labor hour, or man hour, is a unit of work that measures the output of one person working for one hour. Functional Status Items. One important consideration about measuring functional status is that certain functional status activities may not be relevant or feasible to collect for all patients in all types of settings.

For example, an IRF patient may have difficulty swallowing and may be unable to eat by mouth at the time of admission. The Functional Dexterity Test (FDT) was developed as a measure of dexterity that takes a minimum amount of time to administer, yet provides information regarding the patient's ability to use the hand for daily tasks requiring a 3-jaw chuck prehension between the fingers and the thumb.

The test was developed over 20 years. The current study. Similar to prior scoring endeavors (e.g., International Schizophrenia Consortium, ; Evans et al., ), we made use of a large sample enriched for our phenotypes of interest to conduct intra-sample e of the amount of evidence implicating the dopamine system in substance use generally, and cocaine dependence specifically, we focused our analyses on.Grading of Aggregates.

Grading of Aggregates is one which is made up of stones of different sizes, ranging from large to small (inclusive of sand) so as to have minimum of air voids (and that will have maximum density) when mixed grading of aggregates, the voids in the mixed aggregate would be minimum when the sand is just sufficient to fill the voids in the coarse aggregate.

A number of score cards and kits for measuring soil health in the field have been developed (Figurefollowing page).
