Tools
-
Ability/Performance Assessment Tools (Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Ergonomic Solutions for Employment)—This tool is a hierarchy of assessments in four levels that record the job performance and ability of people with disabilities based on subjective ratings. https://www.naric.com/?q=en/node/97
-
Difficulty Rating Scale (Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Universal Design and the Built Environment at Buffalo-Buildings in Use)—This tool gauges the difficulty of performing tasks by people with disabilities based on subjective ratings. https://www.naric.com/?q=en/node/99
-
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (QUERI)—This method helps identify where an intervention might fail and, if failures do occur, helps to design the best way to deal with the causes of those failures. http:\www.queri.research.va.gov\implementation\quality_improvement\methods.cfm?method=14
-
Partnership Evaluation Tool (PET)—This tool measures partnership quality using four metrics: connecting, learning, actions, and impact. Measurement is on a 5-point scale, with 0 denoting “not important” and 4 denoting “extremely important.” https://www.publichealth.ie/sites/default/files/documents/files/IPHbenefits.pdf
-
Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) (Department of Veterans Affairs)—This resource highlights tools related to process mapping. Process mapping can help identify steps in a system where stakeholders are applying research and, as such, potentially measure utilization. These visuals offer stakeholders a clear view of a project’s intended goals, theory of change, and how their partnership relates to the process. http://www.queri.research.va.gov/implementation/quality_improvement/methods.cfm?method=36
-
Quality Improvement Methods Selection Tool (QUERI)—This tool helps researchers identify useful quality improvement tools and methods as part of their research project. https://www.queri.research.va.gov/implementation/quality_improvement/tool.cfm
