Since its inception in 1997 by healthcare PRO guru Dr. John Ware, QualityMetric's FDA-accepted health surveys have measured overall general (generic) health as well as specific diseases...QualityMetric's Generic Health Surveys are designed to recognize 44 disease conditions and are available for use in more than 70 languages.

The science behind the development of PRO surveys is called psychometrics, basically the measurement of human characteristics. QualityMetric employs a group of psychometrics measurement scientists at its Lincoln location...The scientists and analysts use proprietary analytic methodologies to create and report on the surveys currently in use by QualityMetric.
