Standardised Data Collection NCOR, in collaboration with practising osteopaths, has developed a standardised data collection (SDC) tool for osteopaths in private practice. In 2009, a national pilot took place using the tool, and has profiled day-to-day osteopathic practice. What information did the SDC tool provide? The SDC tool collected information for the profession, patients and other healthcare professionals concerning:
The data collection period ran between April and July 2009. All data was anonymised. A full report of the findings of the data collection project can be found here (pdf 2.5Mb). An executive summary of the final project report can be found here (pdf 105Kb). Additional data collection projects In 2010, a data collection project was undertaken to examine the presentation of cervical spine symptoms in daily practice. A copy of the final project report is being prepared currently. In 2011, a short form of the standardised data collection tool was developed for day-to-day use in practice. A copy of this developmental work is being prepared currently. Future work A standardised data collection tool specifically for infants and children is currently being developed. This will be piloted during 2012. Additional data collection projects will be taking place during 2012. Further information concerning this work will appear in The Osteopath and Osteopathy Today.
