A bite size poster about our CCSNHS Trust EQ5D work first presented at the Community Therapists Network in 2013
Andrew Bateman's insight:
this poster from 2014 presented in Birmingham at the Community Therapists Network, is my attempt to try to share a bite size piece of information in a digestible form. do let me know what you think!
Looking back this i think is a good example of ways that face validity at a group level can be discerned.

I have had the chance to get working on some more eq5d data, and this opportunity remnded me that this study that i played part in (PI for the Cambridgeshire site) collected EQ5D data - quite a bit of it, and the statisticians and economists have done their analyses as reported here. It's on my "to-do" list to revisit these data with some of the other approaches to analysis.
Why did I do it? I have evaluated lots of services and been involved in trials where I have asked people to collect EQ-5D data. During this time several people have complained to me about having to collect EQ-5D data so I thought I would have a ‘taste of my own medicine’. I measured my…

a wonderful blog that provides insight into the meaningof EQ5D at the n=1 level
a while since i have updated this collection but some work recently requires me to be more on top of the EQ5D story again. The critique and especially response from Devlin make this a useful read
Poster presented by Yan Feng at ISPOR Washington - May 2016
Andrew Bateman's insight:
So following on from previous presentations, last year I had the chance to work with the experts at Office of Health Economics. This is a very amazing thing for me, a super learning opportunity, to experience their forensic approach to data analysis, and their skills at developing new techniques for data analysis. Sadly, (much as I'd like to) I can't pretend to understand all of this- well especially the delicious sounding "Calinski–Harabasz pseudo-F index stopping rule" (something to do with cluster analysis, is all I know). I do have a sense of privilege to be involved in this.
There is an important message here about the way we use index values and risks of not always being clear what assumptions these are based on. There's also lots more to follow with a full manuscript in preparation and more ideas for analysis too. Meanwhile here's a poster that Yan Feng presented in Sheffield.
In this insightful session, Dr. Mohammad Muhaimin Bin Pathi, Senior Executive at ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn. Bhd., explores the future of holistic healthcare solutions in Malaysia. Drawing on his expertise in health economics, behavioral economics, and healthcare accessibility, Dr. Muhaimin highlights strategies for improving patient care, enhancing affordability, and fostering a preventive healthcare culture.
Join us as we dive deep into his vision for healthcare innovation and the potential of holistic healthcare in shaping a healthier tomorrow.
EQ-5D Books Value Sets for EQ-5D-5L This book is an essential guide to published standard value sets for EQ-5D-5L. It includes a comprehensive inventory of published standard EQ-5D-5L values sets, providing a structured summary of each, as well as a comparative review of their characteristics.

updating the collection here with the link to these resources
over on twitter and through this learned about this conference next June. Looks really interesting! I wonder if I'll have some meaningful work to share before the abstract deadline in February!?!!
This article introduces the new 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) health status measure. EQ-5D currently measures health using three levels of severity in five dimensions. A EuroQol Group task force was established to find ways of improving the instrument’s sensitivity and reducing ceiling effects by increasing the number of severity levels. The study was performed in the United Kingdom and Spain. Severity labels for 5 levels in each dimension were identified using response scaling. Focus groups were used to investigate the face and content validity of the new versions, including hypothetical health states generated from those versions. Selecting labels at approximately the 25th, 50th, and 75th centiles produced two alternative 5-level versions. Focus group work showed a slight preference for the wording ‘slight-moderate-severe’ problems, with anchors of ‘no problems’ and ‘unable to do’ in the EQ-5D functional dimensions. Similar wording was used in the Pain/Discomfort and Anxiety/Depression dimensions. Hypothetical health states were well understood though participants stressed the need for the internal coherence of health states. A 5-level version of the EQ-5D has been developed by the EuroQol Group. Further testing is required to determine whether the new version improves sensitivity and reduces ceiling effects.

Andrew Bateman's insight:
A busy week in rehab service improvement efforts. Thur 26 March saw an interesting gathering at King's fund discussing Community Services. Data and outcomes was an important strand of this and I was really pleased to have chance to share some of our work. I heard about EQ5D work in Gloucestershire (where they are using 3L). I was interested to hear about the work of Bridgewater & the TDA on outcome datasets. More about those in a separate blog. This presentation went down well. Questions included seeking information about cost of using EQ5D (answer re NHS services TBC)
Another question was about how the data are used to drive service improvement. I have a few points to make about this issue. First by knowing about our service users' needs we should be better able to focus our efforts: lets look carefully at the rates of self-reported severe problems and decide if we are allocating time to them. Second I wish to emphasise that feedback of results to the staff who have collected them is vital. This can help staff know how their work is contributing to the overall mission of the organisation and encourage self-reflection on their own atention to their patient's needs. Thirdly where we have repeated measures data we are edging closer to being e to report cost per qaly, I hope, and this could help us in our conversations with commissioners. Finally looking at the rates of 'severe problems' at second assessment might help us focus on our serviceusers' needs and again help us to reflect on what more we can do as a service or through onward referral.
