A conceptual framework of Core Areas for measurement of health conditions in the setting of a health intervention. The lighter shading of Resource Use indicates it is currently strongly recommended, but not mandatory for inclusion. The choice of specific domains within an Area depends on the context for which the core set is being developed. In all areas, domains can be generic or made more specific: e.g., disease-specific, time-specific (e.g., short or longterm), specific for patient preference, etc. ICF: International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

Development of a Core Domain Set from the Core Areas of measurement. A Core Domain Set is defined as the minimum set of Domains and Subdomains necessary to adequately cover all Core Areas, i.e., to fully measure all relevant concepts of a specific health condition within a specified setting.

Development of a Core Outcome Measurement Set from a Core Domain Set. A Core Outcome Measurement Instrument Set is defined as the minimum set of outcome measurement instruments that must be administered in each intervention study of a certain health condition within a specified setting to adequately cover a corresponding Core Domain Set. As depicted, the development process allows core set developers to declare a Preliminary Core Outcome Measurement Set when not all domains are covered by at least 1 applicable measurement instrument.
