McClimans' #PatientCentered#Measurement#ISOQOL#HRQLwww.isoqol.org/events/31st-...#Ethics#Psychometrics#Epistemology@annaalexandrova.bsky.social

Picture of the cover of Leah M. McClimans' "Patient-centered measurement: Ethics, epistemology, and dialogue in contemporary medicine" printed on light green background, and above stylised white and black head profiles, back to back, watching away from each other.
Back sleeve of McClimans' book, presenting three brief reviews by (from top) Eran Tal, Suman Seth, and Jan R. Boehnke. I have the latter one typed up anyway, so here you go: What does it take to realize patient-'centeredness' in measurement? McClimans offers a thought-provoking journey through hermeneutics, questions of epistemic justice, and epistemic dialogues, focusing on the meaning of questionnaire content. McClimans argues for a way forward through dialogue, reflection, and epistemic humility from all parties involved in measure development and use, connecting this to collaborative and participatory practices, and emerging team science methodologies. The book's arguments extend and challenge other research and practice areas that are currently developing concepts of "person-centeredness"
Part I of the symposium description, due to length only a snippet: Patient-reported measurement is the idea that patient perspectives should play an evidentiary role in determining how effective a drug is taken to be, the degree to which a hospital provides good quality care or improvements in patient-clinician communication. This idea may sound prosaic, but in fact it’s nothing short of revolutionary. It says, patient views matter-not as an afterthought, and not only at the bedside, but in the nuts and bolts of creating our evidence base, and thus in health-care decision-making. But patient-reported measures present a puzzle: How can measurement, which relies on standardization, represent patient perspectives, which, if not idiosyncratic are at least various and changeable? This tension is explored in Patient-Centered Measurement (McClimans, L 2024, Oxford University Press) a recent book that combines philosophy and conceptual questions from HRQoL research.
