This review identifies guidelines for implementing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in clinical quality registries. Findings will inform a new guideline for PROMs implementation in CQRs.
Area of Science:
- Health Outcomes Research
- Clinical Informatics
- Evidence Synthesis
Background:
- The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to evaluate health outcomes is increasing globally.
- There is a need to identify existing guidelines, frameworks, and recommendations for PROMs implementation.
- Particular focus is placed on the application of these methodologies within clinical quality registries (CQRs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of publications on PROMs implementation guidelines.
- To identify and analyze existing guidelines, frameworks, checklists, and recommendations for PROMs implementation.
- To inform the development of a new guideline for PROMs implementation specifically for CQRs.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search across multiple databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane) and gray literature was performed.
- Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to identify relevant publications on PROMs implementation methodologies.
- Data extraction focused on bibliographic information, purpose of PROMs use, and details of identified guidelines, frameworks, or checklists, followed by narrative synthesis.
Main Results:
- The review is ongoing, with database searches completed in March 2024.
- Title/abstract screening, full-text review, and data extraction are scheduled for completion by May 2024.
- The full review is anticipated to conclude by the end of August 2024.
Conclusions:
- The scoping review will provide evidence on existing methodologies for PROMs implementation.
- Findings will guide the development of a new, tailored guideline for PROMs implementation in CQRs.
- This work supports the broader project aim of enhancing PROMs utilization in clinical quality measurement.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
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...

Guidelines for Nursing Documentation II
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.
