Why is QoL an useful assessment in the clinical practice?
- Measure to inform- inform interventions and best practice, and inform patients about treatment outcomes or possible side-effects in order that they are mentally 'prepared' for them
- Measure to evaluate alternatives - QoL measures may be used as a form of clinical 'audit' to identify which interventions have the 'best' outcomes - for the patient but also in relation to costs
