Outcome measures are standardized assessment tools used to quantify a patient’s functional status and track progress over time. StrataEMR includes a library of outcome measures with automatic scoring built in, so you don’t have to calculate results manually.

​
How Outcome Measures Work in StrataEMR

Each outcome measure is a standalone clinical document. You access them the same way you access other clinical templates — through the document dropdown on the Clinical Documents page. When you complete an outcome measure, StrataEMR automatically calculates the score based on your entries. This score is saved with the document and can be referenced in evaluations, progress notes, and discharge summaries.
Outcome measures cannot be embedded directly inside evaluation or progress note templates. This is because each measure runs its own scoring calculation. To include results in another document, complete the outcome measure in a separate browser tab, then copy the score into your eval or progress note manually.

​
Complete an Outcome Measure

  1. Open the patient’s chart and navigate to the Clinical Documents page.
  2. Select the Outcome Measures family.
  3. Select the outcome measure you want to complete from the dropdown.
  4. Answer each question in the form. StrataEMR calculates the score automatically as you go.
  5. Click Complete to save the document.
Use two browser tabs for efficiency. Open the outcome measure in one tab and your evaluation or progress note in another. Complete the measure, copy the score, and paste it into the corresponding field in your note — without losing your place in either document.

​
Track Progress Over Time

Once you’ve completed an outcome measure, subsequent scores are recorded each time you complete a new instance of the same measure. Your document templates can include an outcome measure tracking table that displays scores visit-to-visit, giving you and your clinical team a quick view of patient progress. You can also send outcome measures to patients before their visit using the Patient Intake workflow. This allows patients to complete the form electronically, and their responses are saved directly in StrataEMR when submitted.

​
Available Outcome Measures

The following measures are available in StrataEMR with full automatic scoring:
  • Berg Balance Scale
  • Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI)
  • Foot Function Index
  • Functional Abilities Confidence Scale
  • Harris Hip Score
  • Knee Outcome Survey
  • Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale
  • Neck Disability Index (NDI)
  • Oswestry Low Back Disability (Modified)
  • Penn Shoulder Score
  • Resumption of ADL Scale
  • Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
  • Simple Shoulder Test
  • Tinetti Assessment Tool
  • Upper Extremity Functional Scale
Some measures are unavailable due to copyright restrictions. The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and Quick DASH are examples of measures that cannot be added to StrataEMR without additional licensing. If a measure you need is not in the system, you can submit a feature request through the feedback portal.

​
Pediatric Assessments

StrataEMR supports a number of pediatric assessments with meta-commentary scoring — meaning the system documents the resulting score and relevant notes rather than running a full interactive calculation. These include tools such as the PDMS, BOT-2, PLS-5, and others commonly used in pediatric PT, OT, and SLP settings. If you use pediatric assessments and do not see the form you need, submit a request through the feedback portal.

​
Request a Missing Outcome Measure

If you need an outcome measure that is not currently in StrataEMR, submit a feature request to the support team. The team reviews copyright clearance and implementation effort for each request. You can submit requests directly from within StrataEMR using the feedback option in the navigation bar.
