Overview
The ME Association has funded a study led by Prof Sarah Tyson (who also has ME) from the University of Manchester, to develop a clinical assessment toolkit in collaboration with people with ME and clinicians in NHS ME/CFS specialist services.
The ME Association Clinical Assessment Toolkit (MEA-CAT) provides five assessment measures which you can use to load details about your health, from symptoms to functional capacity, to needs.
Four of five assessments are now available as a hardcopy or digitally, via the ELAROS platform. These are the CNAME, PASS, PREM-ME, and TIMES assessments. Our 5th “MEAQ” assessment is coming soon.
Digital versions available through ELAROS' autonom-e app
The ME Association’s toolkit was originally designed for use with ME clinical services, so it also includes a clinical needs assessment, and a patient reported experience measure (also known as a patient satisfaction survey).
Clinical services using ELAROS’ autonom-e platform can share the MEA-CAT with their patients to complete in a digital format through a mobile app, online, as part of a telephone interview, or on paper if necessary and uploaded to the patient’s digital record later, offering patients with alternative accessibility options and to avoid postage, printing and storage.
