OutcomeInfo - Clinical Outcome Measure Software

Development of a National Data Base for Post Acute & Acute
Brain Injury Rehabilitation Programs

Background
Inventive Software together with James F. Malec, PhD, a co-author of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4), and the Oregon Research Institute was awarded a Small Business Technology Transfer grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The grant project titled “An Internet-Based Evaluation System for Post-acute Acquired Brain Injury” in now in Phase II. The project objective is to develop a Web-based national database system for accumulating, reporting and analyzing assessment and outcome measures for acquired brain injury (ABI). The project has expanded and enhanced a prototype MPAI-4 database that Inventive Software initially developed with a small user group of six post acute brain injury providers (PARF) in Pennsylvania.

The MPAI-4 is well suited to identify and document rehabilitation targets and for planning and evaluating rehabilitative services for people with ABI. Recently the OutcomeInfo system has been expanded to provide a number of additional outcome measures. OutcomeInfo meets the unmet need of offering a useful, broadly-available assessment tool for to providers serving similar patient groups with similar goals.

System Features: OutcomeInfo provides a unique package of outcome assessment data accumulation and reporting features for post-acute service providers serving patients with acquired brain injury. Clinical Benefits of the MPAI: An industry recognized tool, The Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI) was designed to assist in the clinical evaluation of people during the post-acute (post-hospital) period following acquired brain injury (ABI). Report and Analysis Features: Benchmarking reports to compare national outcomes to your own organization. Provide information to patients, families or funders to depict an individual’s progress. Capture extensive demographic data as well as ICD coding for use in reporting and analysis.

Overview
The MPAI-4 is a measurement tool that successfully addresses the critically unmet need for a comprehensive, psychometrically-sound instrument for measuring the long-term outcome of ABI. OutcomeInfo, web-based software system is well suited to accomplish the mission of providing a national database application for gathering information from numerous rehabilitation providers in a secure confidential manner.

	OutcomeInfo includes data elements for demographics, social and treatment environments, diag-nosis/injury descriptors, medical measures and most importantly, change over the course of post-acute rehabilitation and outcomes for people with ABI. .
	OutcomeInfo provides quality monitoring and continuous quality improvement systems through an advisory group of neuropsychologists, biostatisticians, and consumer representa-tive to assure ongoing data analysis using state-of-the-art science measurement and statistical techniques, assure clinical relevance of the database and assure periodic re-normalizing and re-calibration of the instrument based on the expanding database. .
	OutcomeInfo provides a support help desk, as well as statistical consultation to individual providers for analysis of provider specific data for an additional fee.
