What is the ePBI-W?

 

The ePBI-W is used to set goals and evaluate the degree of achievement for patients with chronic wounds and their physicians based on the Patient Benefit Index (PBI).

 

The PBI-W was specifically developed for patients with chronic wounds. It helps patients to set treatment goals and to monitor their achievement after therapy or over time. It can also be used for quality assurance purposes and shared decision making. The ePBI is available as a mobile application for Android and iOS devices and as a web-based online tool.

Assessing the ePBI-W

Before treatment the patient completes the Patient Needs Questionnaire (PNQ) and after starting a treatment - the Patient Benefit Questionnaire (PBQ). A score is then assigned to each answer with which the final index (PBI) can be calculated.

The index range is between 0 (no patient relevant benefit) and 4 (maximum patient relevant benefit).

For each of the following statements, please mark how important this treatment goal is to you.  If a statement does not apply to you, e.g. because you do not have pain, please mark “does not apply to me“.

About Patient Reported Outcomes

 

“A PRO is any report of the status of a patient’s health condition that comes directly from the patient, without interpretation of the patient’s response by a clinician or anyone else.”

 

“Use of a PRO instrument is advised when measuring a concept best known by the patient or best measured from the patient perspective. […] PRO instrument adequacy depends on its role and relationships with other clinical trial endpoints as depicted in the endpoint model.”
