This article discusses outcomes research in physical therapy and places its conceptual roots within the work on quality-of-care assessment. An argument is advanced that the outcomes research movement in medicine has stimulated clinical researchers in physical therapy to address disability outcomes in addition to traditional impairment outcomes. If physical therapy clinical research moves beyond this broadening of clinical outcomes to investigate explicitly the hypothesized relationship between impairment and disability, outcomes research will have stimulated a shift in the dominant research paradigm in the profession. The development and testing of theory regarding the pathogenesis of disability will be needed to guide the direction of this type of physical therapy research. Such a shift in the dominant research paradigm in physical therapy could produce dramatic findings that have direct impact on clinical practice.

The author describes the Glioma Outcomes (GO) Project which conducts outcomes research and develops educational programs to benefit patients who undergo surgery for glioma. In January 1997 an advisory board of neurosurgeons, neurooncologists, and clinical research scientists was formed to establish the policies governing this project and to control the dissemination of aggregate data on clinical practices and outcomes. This voluntary database is designed to 1) guide the development of educational programs to improve the care of patients and 2) provide a mechanism by which physicians can evaluate the impact of their diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in a manner that is timely, confidential, and objective.
