Patient scoring system
Stephen uses the Amplitude patient outcome scoring system to publish clinical results on the UK Hand Registry.
The system is secure and confidential and allows you to track your progress following surgery. The system uses emails to enable you to complete outcome scores. Alternatively you can use the patient portal webpage.
Annual results will be public (without patient details) from January 2017.
Further data is recorded and validated on the Private Health Information Network website
The Amplitude pro series uses simple technology to allow your clinician or healthcare professional to collect clinical outcomes and use them to measure a reduction in your symptoms and and improvement in your quality of life.
