Longitudinal Research

12.6K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Continuity in routine physical function assessment is often lacking.
  • Physical function is crucial for patient outcomes, especially during care transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine essential data elements and instruments for longitudinal physical function measurement.
  • To facilitate routine assessment in patients moving from acute care to home health.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-round modified Delphi process involving 13 experts.
  • Included anonymous online rounds and an in-person session for consensus.
  • Followed by stakeholder input from 2 focus groups.

Main Results:

  • 27 individual data elements were recommended for tracking physical function.
  • 74% of recommended elements are administrative and available in electronic medical records.
  • A website was developed to share findings and encourage participation.

Conclusions:

  • Expert consensus achieved on critical data elements for physical function monitoring.
  • Identified elements are comprehensive and feasible for routine care.
  • Guidance provided for establishing discrete medical records data.
