Research on Performance-Based Work Assessment, also known as Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE), has evolved substantially over the past decades. Although this field of research has developed, the use of FCE has been an object of discussion and debate internationally. Unfortunately, there has been no platform or infrastructure available for FCE researchers to present their research, discuss, and collaborate.
An International FCE Research Meeting was held in Haren, The Netherlands on October 25, 2012, with 48 participants from eight countries. The meeting consisted of presentation of new research, two debates, and an open discussion that aimed at creating an overview of gaps in research as identified by the participants.
The discussion resulted in the identification of 17 research needs, which are listed in this paper. Important categories were: further validation of FCE across settings, jurisdictions and patient groups; additional impact and cost-effectiveness evaluation of FCE compared to alternatives; and the use of ICF as guiding framework.
Researchers, clinicians, and other professionals in the FCE area are interested in improving the quality and content of FCE research by setting a common set of priorities and creating an international peer network.
过去几十年来，基于绩效的工作评估（也称为功能能力评估，FCE）的研究取得了重大进展。尽管这一研究领域已经发展起来，但 FCE 的使用在国际上一直是讨论和争论的对象。不幸的是，没有为 FCE 研究人员提供展示研究成果、讨论和合作的平台或基础设施。
2012 年 10 月 25 日，在荷兰哈伦举行了一次国际 FCE 研究会议，来自八个国家的 48 名参与者参加了会议。会议包括介绍新的研究成果、两场辩论以及一场公开讨论，旨在根据参与者确定的研究差距创建一个概述。
讨论确定了 17 项研究需求，这些需求在本文中列出。重要类别包括：在不同环境、司法管辖区和患者群体中进一步验证 FCE；与替代方案相比，对 FCE 的额外影响和成本效益评估；以及使用 ICF 作为指导框架。
FCE 领域的研究人员、临床医生和其他专业人员有兴趣通过设定一套共同的优先事项和创建一个国际同行网络来提高 FCE 研究的质量和内容。
