LOINC long common name : Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) - Cancer Specific Measures
Panel;
LOINC description : FACIT (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) was adopted as the formal
name of the measurement system in 1997 to portray the expansion of the more familiar
FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) series of questionnaires into other
chronic illnesses and conditions. Thus, FACIT is a broader, more encompassing term
that includes the FACT questionnaires under its umbrella. FACIT scales are constructed
to complement the FACT-G, addressing relevant disease-, treatment-, or condition-related
issues not already covered in the general questionnaire. Each is intended to be as
specific as necessary to capture the clinically-relevant problems associated with
a given condition or symptom, yet general enough to allow for comparison across diseases,
and extension, as appropriate, to other chronic medical conditions. The latest version
of the FACIT Measurement System, Version 4, was designed to enhance clarity and precision
of measurement without threatening its established reliability and validity (from
Version 3). Formatting simplification, item-reduction, and rewording (standardizing
items across scales) constitute the major areas of change from version 3 to 4.;
