An instrument for assessing stroke patients' unmet needs

the Greater Manchester Stroke Assessment Tool (GM-SAT)

最近看到的一個新的評量，覺得還蠻有趣的!
GM-SAT是一個用來評估中風個案"unmet needs"的工具。

"The GM-SAT covers 34 patient- and one carer-related common, long-term, post-stroke problem areas. For each area, the GM-SAT provides assessment questions and a simple algorithm that directs assessors to the most appropriate evidence-based management option for any given unmet need (http://clahrc-gm.nihr.ac.uk/resources/gm-sat/5/)."

Unmet needs的定義:
"An unmet need was defined as ‘a problem that was not being addressed or one that was being addressed, but insufficiently’."

最近的評量真的越來越"PRO"導向!
