Project Number: DE3101 Project Acronym: EATS Project title: Efficiency of Assistive Technology and Services Deliverable Type: PU

Areas for policy making concerning assistive technology and services (AT&S) and the focus of EATS are discussed related to the merits of outcome measures such as psychometric profiles, goal attainment scales, the problem elicitation technique, and utilities. It is proposed that the methods to be chosen in EATS are goal attainment scaling or the problem elicitation technique, and a utility measure. The utility measure should primarily be based on the EuroQol instrument revised as proposed in the previous TIDE project CERTAIN. This means that aspects on disability and handicap should be included and health aspects excluded.
