Abstract

Members of the European General Practice Research Network (EGPRN), at their 2011 conference in Nice, France, considered the issue of Relevant Outcome Measures in General Practice Research into Chronic Diseases. This key note lecture considers the role of qualitative assessments in research. Such assessments have a great deal in common with the patient centred approach of general practice as they can capture the overall state of a patient rather than capturing only certain aspects. Research suggests that patients can be categorised based on qualitative assessment, and over time might change category. However, the role of qualitative assessment in research that is able to predict the likelihood of an outcome in medicine is less clear.
