Dementia Outcomes Measurement Suite (DOMS) project final report
In May 2006 the Department of Health and Ageing commissioned a research report from the University of Wollongong on dementia measurement instruments.
The aim of the project was to develop a credible suite of standardised measurement tools, within the health outcomes framework, to allow for the examination of service delivery effectiveness; better screening and assessment of consumers; and the evaluation of an individual consumer’s health-related quality of life.
The DOMS report identifies 36 instruments deemed suitable to be used by researchers and clinicians in the routine assessment, diagnosis, screening and outcomes monitoring of dementia conditions and the evaluation of treatments.
