LEAD and COMPASS: Defining Outcome Measures and a Core Dataset for the Lower Limb Prosthetics Sector
This report focusses on people with lower limb absence (LLA). One of the impediments to expansion of services is a lack of standardised data and a lack of information about outcomes. Standardised data and standardised information on outcomes can support decision making at all levels, (service user/clinician, management, and policy) and help make an effective business case for investment in services for people with LLA. LEAD (Lower Extremity Amputation Dataset) and COMPASS (Consensus of outcome Measures for Prosthetic and Amputation Service) are two tools which have been developed to be used in conjunction with each other and to address this lack of basic information.
