THE IMPORTANCE OF USING OBJECTIVE MEASURES IN HEALTH SERVICES

Objective measures are critical for health service providers to evaluate the effectiveness of training plans and to monitor progress. By collecting objective data about a client’s function, health providers can measure progress over time, and adjust recommendations and goal setting without delay or lack of information.

For example, let's say you're a health provider working with a client recovering from a knee injury. Recording function and identifying movement patterns before and after an intervention allows you to define the problem, make better and faster decisions, educate the client, and set expectations, and show the effectiveness of your recommendations.  You can follow-up in the short-term and the long-term to keep them on track.

Objective measures are useful for documenting baseline function in people with chronic conditions, such as obesity, arthritis, diabetes, or neurological problems. Health providers can improve health by improving movement and activity levels, onsite or remotely.

A track-record of Moovment’s scans, health surveys and exercise plans make it easy to show progress, change behaviour, and reach goals.
