Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Trauma (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Outcome Measures in Orthopaedic Trauma is a combined new edition of the successful Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Outcome Measures in Trauma that were the first books devoted to the topic of outcome measures for orthopedic trauma surgeons and researchers. The ability to measure
results is vital for effective medical practice, particularly in view of the increased emphasis on evidence-based medicine and the introduction of the NICE guidelines. Evaluation of the success of failure of treatment is not only of importance to the patient and practitioner, but also to the health
administrator as health care costs increase. Orthopedic and orthopedic trauma are highly complex subjects that can prove difficult to quantify, but accurate measurement is required for setting standards of care and for assessing the severity of an injury. Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and
Orthopaedic Trauma helps the clinician fulfil his or her role in the outcome assessment by providing good references to sources of instruments and techniques used and assisting them in making an informed selection from the different scoring systems available. It will be of interest to orthopaedic
and trauma surgeons as well as emergency personnel and lawyers, researchers and hospital administrators working in this area.
