The Remote Completion Rate of Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Forms Before Scheduled Clinic Visits-A
Introduction:
Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires are amenable to remote administration. This study sought to determine remote completion rates of PROMIS questionnaires before clinic visits.
Methods:
Patients were e-mailed a set of PROMIS forms. Completion rates were analyzed by visit type, provider seen, and patient demographics.
Results:
Seven hundred forty total appointments were included. Sixty-seven percent of encounters had previsit form completion. High completion rates were found for all visit types (74%, 67%, and 64% for new, return, and postoperative visits, respectively). Women had a higher completion rate than men (71% versus 64%; P = 0.031). White patients (72%; P = 0.001) and patients in the third median household income quartile ($53,725 to $83,088; 72%; P = 0.008) had higher completion rates than their respective counterparts.
Conclusion:
Most patients remotely completed PROMIS forms. The efficiency and accessibility of PROMIS forms may help improve ease of collection of patient-reported outcomes.
