Severity-Adjusted Effect Size introduces a more rigorous and clinically contextualized way to measure patient improvement by adjusting for baseline severity. Instead of comparing raw change scores alone, this feature models each patient’s expected improvement based on others who began treatment at a similar severity level, then standardizes their results on a common scale. This “apples-to-apples” approach corrects limitations in traditional outcome metrics, ensuring fairer comparisons across diverse populations and settings. By providing a severity-aware, standardized metric, clinicians and organizations can better interpret treatment effectiveness with greater fairness, accuracy, and clinical rigor.
