A clinical outcome assessment is any measure of how a patient feels, functions or survives that is used to evaluate the effect of an intervention. Such assessments are conventionally grouped into clinician-reported, patient-reported, observer-reported and performance-based measures, each capturing a different vantage point on the patient's health. The choice of assessment, and the evidence that it is valid, reliable and responsive for the population and context concerned, strongly influences how convincing a technology's evidence will be to regulators, HTA bodies and clinicians. Well-chosen outcome assessments that reflect what matters to patients, including patient-reported outcomes, strengthen both the clinical and the value case for a technology.
