PROMIS Global Health-10
What It Measures
The PROMIS Global Health-10 is a standardized self-report instrument developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to evaluate core physical, mental, and social health indicators. As a validated, diagnosis-agnostic measure, it can be seamlessly applied across diverse clinical conditions, practice settings, and age groups. Because the tool is population-normed, scores provide a clear, standardized baseline ideal for longitudinal outcome tracking throughout the full episode of care.
The Global Health-10 serves as a shared metric across multidisciplinary teams—bridging the work between occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, mental health clinicians, and physicians to track overarching health outcomes that matter most to patients.
PROMIS Global Health-10 is officially listed in the HealthMeasures library as the PROMIS Scale v1.2 - Global Health.
