Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)

The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) is a set of questionnaires used by healthcare providers to evaluate how a chronic illness affects a person's daily life, well-being, and symptoms. It helps to understand the physical, emotional, and functional impact of the condition and the effectiveness of treatments. The FACIT tools are tailored for different illnesses and include questions about pain, fatigue, emotional health, and overall quality of life. This information guides clinicians in personalizing care and improving health outcomes by capturing the patient's perspective on their health status.
