INSIDE >> THE INDUSTRY 2018 Program Certification. For each of these outcomes, at least one instrument that is free and in the public domain has been identified and described to help PR programs reduce cost burden of outcome measurement. Note: programs are welcome to use more than one instrument in an outcome. Under Psychosocial, one important update is a recommendation to use an updated version of the CES-D as an evaluation tool for depression and the rationale supporting this recommendation. We recognize that the CES-D is a commonly used tool in PR programs. The free tools under functional performance (the 6-minute walk distance) and dyspnea (the modified Medical Research Council tool) have been well-described in the Outcomes Resource Guide for several years - an update is the free tool under dyspnea (COPD Assessment Test). The U.S. copyrighted version is administered and available through the COPD Foundation site. Please register for free access, then click Learn More -> Educational Materials -> Download Library -> COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Questionnaire and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) HCP User Guide. The updated PR Outcomes Resource Guide is available to members only under "Resources for AACVPR Members". You must be logged in to access the resource guide.
