7.29. FROM-LP additional scales (CGI-I, IRAC, PSS, FFT, RSS)

Note

[FROM-LP] Recommended by FROM-LP, as part of the core generic set. [Royal College of Psychiatrists (2015). Framework for Routine Outcome Measurement in Liaison Psychiatry (FROM-LP). Faculty report FR/LP/02. https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/FRLP02.pdf.]

The FROM-LP generic measures include:

  • CGI-I: Clinical Global Impression – Improvement scale (Guy W, 1976); see CGI.
  • CORE-10 — but while paper copies are free, electronic reproduction is not: see http://www.coreims.co.uk/copyright.pdf; therefore, not part of CamCOPS.
  • Friends and Family Test (FFT) (Department of Health, 2012).
  • IRAC: Identify and Rate the Aim of the Contact (Trigwell P, 2014a).
  • Patient Satisfaction Scale (PSS) (Persaud A et al. 2008).
  • Referrer Satisfaction Scale (RSS) (Trigwell P, 2014b, after Persaud A et al. 2008).
    • CamCOPS supports two versions of the RSS: a patient-specific version and a survey version.
