Popis: This book is based on the premise that physicians need, but do not have, accurate and efficient methods for measuring a patient’s overall functional health status. In this chapter we describe a very brief method for measuring function and health that may be useful for routine use in primary care settings. This method is called the COOP chart system. The COOP chart system has been tested in many different practices in different parts of the world. This chapter is the second published report on the validity, reliability, and acceptability of the COOP charts. The first was published in the March 1987 supplement to the Journal of Chronic Disease (1). Further information on the COOP charts is available from the authors.
