Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile
Much credence is being placed on "evidence based treatments" this package delivers you with the tools needed for you to record the evidence of your treatments and practice. MYMOP was devised by Dr Charlotte Patterson for the Medical Research Council. It was revised to be MYMOP II and we have taken that questionnaire and adapted it by adding the clients weight to the questionnaire. The clients height is recorded when the client is set up so that we can monitor any changes in BMI.
Basically the patient chooses two symptoms and an activity that they wish to monitor, they must choose at the first symptom of the three options. They then score these on a scale of 0 to 6, where 0 is as well as can be and 6 is as ill as can be. They also score there sense of well being. These scores are then combined to produce a single number in the range of 0 to 6.
Follow up MYMOP's
The MYMOP facility in Clinic-Aid, records the symptoms and activity chosen by the patient and can either print out a questionnaire for the subsequent visit or the detailed response of the client can be entered directly into the web pages. The practitioner has an option they can either enter the data directly themself or they can enable their clients to go to the web pages and update their data.
These scores can easily be monitored, as they are displayed when you show the clients information, where it is easy to see if the individual patient is improving, or not. Obviously, if not then further investigation is required. Is there an external reason for this dip in wellbeing, or is your treatment option requiring review.
Larger organisations can hold a license to create accounts for their practitioners and these can monitor that practitioners clients and their information.
A further class of person who can gain access to some of the data but these people only has access to the data not any personal information. For example they cannot see the clients date of birth, but they can see the year of birth, in case age may be a factor. Similarly, they can see the first four characters of the postcode, in case there may be a factor due to location. All this data can be written to a tab delimited file, which can then be downloaded and imported into a spreadsheet for further analysis.
