Digital Neurostatus-Expanded Disability Status Scale

Uniquely designed to improve a rater’s data entry experience, the system was built to advance data quality by:

• Embedding the Neurostatus proprietary scoring algorithms and edit checks, which support the rater with real-time feedback on data inconsistencies
• Developed with a web-based data review process to facilitate the quick review and oversight of data quality by the team of Neurostatus EDSS expert neurologists at Neurostatus-UHB

As a result, data entry is fast and easy, as the paper form with which the raters are familiar, is nearly identical to the paper-based form In addition, the Neurostatus Definitions booklet is embedded directly into the data capture process, so if there are questions, the rater can refer to the booklet without leaving the system. 

With over 130 data points, this scale can be cumbersome to complete on paper. This new scale guides neurologists through the process, providing critical context for each question to significantly reduce inaccuracies and the administrative costs related to additional expert reviews.
