Kaplan (U. of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) trains both students and clinicians to evaluate data from clinical settings that will help them objectively evaluate their own practice. She includes exercises and answer keys as she describes defining outcomes in clinical practice in terms of approach, rehabilitation, consumers of outcome data, models of disablement, and a model of rehabilitation service delivery. She shows how to implement an outcome study by developing a questions and rationale, coding data and constructing a data set, and analyzing, using and sharing data; in the final chapters she shows how to integrate outcome measurement and clinical practice, including advice on mixing outcome measurement with practice management. The result is both compact and comprehensive, and includes samples and forms. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
