The Use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Clinical Practice and Clinical Decision Making
Eric C Makhni1, Mary E Hennekes
1From the Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI.
Summary
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) enhance patient-centered care by integrating real-time health data into clinical decisions. These measures improve treatment discussions and postoperative monitoring for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Clinical Informatics
- Patient-Centered Care
Background:
- Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess physical, mental, and social health outcomes crucial for quality of care.
- PROMs are valuable in research, registries, and increasingly as clinical tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the utility of PROMs in routine clinical care.
- To emphasize the role of PROMs in clinical decision-making and patient-centered care.
Main Methods:
- Integration of real-time PROM collection into electronic health records.
- Utilizing PROM scores for treatment option discussions and decision aids.
- Employing PROM data for postoperative monitoring.
Main Results:
- Real-time PROM data provides immediate access to patient health status.
- PROM scores facilitate informed discussions on treatment efficacy.
- Methods like minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state quantify clinical benefit.
Conclusions:
- PROMs are essential for evaluating quality of care and patient-centered outcomes.
- Integrating PROMs into clinical workflows enhances decision-making and patient engagement.
- The importance of PROMs will grow with the emphasis on high-value, patient-centered healthcare.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
2.8K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

01:26Methods of Documentation II: POMR
1.0K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

2.1K
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...

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

2.0K
Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
