Clinical Outcomes Assessment (COA)
Assessment of a clinical outcome can be made through report by a clinician, a patient, a non-clinician observer or through a performance-based assessment. There are four types:
- Patient-reported outcome (PRO),
- Clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measures,
- Observer-reported outcome (ObsRO), and
- Performance outcome (PerfO).
