The VR-12 is a widely used patient-reported outcome instrument with applications in clinical care and research.
VR-12's established use supports continued application in ambulatory outcomes assessment; leaves open need for head-to-head validation against newer instruments.
There has been an increasing emphasis on placing patients at the center of clinical care and health care research and, in particular, assessing outcomes and experiences from the patient's perspective. One of the most widely used patient-reported outcome instruments is the Veterans RAND 12-item Health Survey (VR-12).
