There are many different outcome measures that quantify the same or similar constructs. This heterogeneity makes it challenging to conduct large-scale research and quality measurement. Requiring uniformity of measure selection may not always be practical. Instead, measures can be placed on the same metric, allowing commensurate scoring.

This presentation will use PROMIS Physical Function T-score metric as an exemplar metric on which scores from other measures can be placed and commonly understood. Both linking of other patient-reported outcome measures and performance-based measures will be discussed.
