Abstract: The assessment of patient clinical outcome focuses on measuring various aspects of the patient’s health status after medical treatments and interventions. Patient clinical outcome assessment is a major concern in the clinical field as the current measures are not well developed and, as a result, they may be used without sufficient understanding of their characteristics. This issue retards the development in the clinical field. This paper proposes a general pure quantitative conceptual model for the assessment of patient clinical outcome. The proposed model contains five WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) measurable components: body functions impairment, clinical elegancy distortion, pain, death, and shortening of life expectancy. Total patient clinical outcome is measured by summing the five WHO components. Five validity types are used to validate the proposed model: content, construct, criterion, descriptive, and predictive validities.
