Abstract

It will be evident from the contents of this book, which reports on the work accomplished by the EuroQol Group in the context of Biomed II funding — the EQ-net project — that the measurement and valuation of health-related quality of life is a comprehensive undertaking, even for a measurement instrument, the EQ-5D, which is probably the simplest and shortest of the generic instruments currently available. This final chapter summarises the EQ-net project, highlighting some of the key points and issues in what proved a complex set of inter-locking tasks. The opportunity is also taken to reflect upon the current status of the Group’s work with EQ-5D and how this might proceed.
