Summary
Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) can effectively track functional performance and quality of life for geriatric patients. Implementing PROMs in clinical practice offers benefits for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Geriatric Medicine
- Rehabilitation Science
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are standardized outcomes not widely implemented in disease-specific care pathways or for geriatric patients.
- Geriatric patients often prioritize functional performance and quality of life over other health metrics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate innovative, multipurpose implementation of PROMs in geriatric and physiotherapy settings.
- To highlight the value of PROMs in capturing meaningful patient journey outcomes for older adults.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of PROMs in geriatric care settings.
- Application of PROMs in physiotherapy practice.
- Evaluation of PROMs' utility in tracking patient outcomes.
Main Results:
- PROMs can reveal meaningful outcomes throughout older patients' care journeys.
- Successful application in two distinct best-practice scenarios (geriatric and physiotherapy).
- PROMs serve the needs of both individual patients and groups of professionals.
Conclusions:
- PROMs can provide relevant generic outcomes for older patients, enhancing the patient-physician relationship, quality of care, and predictive accuracy in geriatrics.
- Effective PROMs are valid, reliable, responsive, short, and simple.
- Successful research-to-practice translation requires careful integration of PROMs into clinical encounters and electronic health records.

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

18.9K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences. The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
