To be the world leader in advancing consumer-based assessment technologies for improving health care.
QualityMetric Incorporated is a leading provider of health status and outcomes measurement products and
services that use proprietary and analytical methodologies to capture, benchmark, and interpret actionable
patient-reported health information.
In 1997, John E. Ware, Jr., PhD, principal developer of the SF-36® Health Survey, founded QualityMetric
Incorporated to translate years of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) research into practical applications that
would support improvement in health care.
Almost 10 years, 7,500 peer-reviewed articles and 1,000 clinical studies later, privately-owned QualityMetric
continues to advocate for incorporation of the patient's voice into almost every facet of health care.
Our health status and outcomes measurement products and services utilize proprietary analytical methodologies
to capture, benchmark, and interpret patient-reported health information. The validity, precision,
versatility, and utility of QualityMetric's comprehensive product portfolio have made our surveys the
most accurate and widely used PRO measurement tools in the health care market. In addition to providing
the initial assessment of an individual's health status, our surveys can evaluate treatment effectiveness,
differentiate between outcomes produced by a wide range of treatments, enable evaluation of treatment
benefits in relation to health costs and utilization of services, and meaningfully engage the consumer in
the health care process.
QualityMetric provides high-value health status surveys for use in pharmacoeconomic analysis, clinical trials,
direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing, disease and population management, risk assessment, cost prediction, and
consumer-directed health care initiatives. The pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device markets currently
represent the largest segment of our business, while the payer and provider arenas comprise the fastest growing
markets for the company's products.
QualityMetric's success is wholly based on its mission to take the best possible patient-reported outcomes
measurement science out of the laboratory and apply it to the real world of health care decision making.
Every patient has a voice, and QualityMetric has provided the tools for meaningfully integrating that voice
throughout the continuum of healthcare.
