Role

The Standards & Best Practices Committee advances the scientific study of health related quality of life and other patient-centered outcomes by leading projects to develop standards and best practices, as well as create tools to promote implementation of recommendations. These activities may include methodologic and applied work related to patient-reported outcomes in research and practice. The committee also serves as the custodian of ISOQOL standards and best practices documents, including updating them as needed.

With multiple projects and initiatives being conducted simultaneously, it is likely that a number of subcommittees and task forces may be formed under the umbrella of the Standards & Best Practices Committee and led by committee members.

Products of this committee are developed on behalf of ISOQOL, submitted to the Board and membership for acceptance, and published in accordance with the ISOQOL publications policy.
