Patient-Reported Outcomes

This research worked with orthopedic surgeons and their patients on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and found that patients prefer simple tools around individualized goals; that text reminders improve response rates for PROMs; and that, while surgeons perceive that aggregate PROMs reports have value, provision of performance comparison reports did not improve outcomes over a 5-month period.

This project will develop and evaluate an an electronic dashboard to display patient reported outcomes for patients with rheumatoid arthritis that will facilitate clinician and patient conversations about their care.

Working with the American College of Rheumatology, this research created a clinical learning network to increase the use of rheumatoid arthritis patient-reported outcomes (PROs), developed a natural language processing algorithm to abstract PRO measures from the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness registry, and planned for a toolkit to disseminate best practices in the implementation of PROs.

This project will test the effectiveness of using patient-reported outcomes for cirrhosis collected with Patient Buddy and EncephalApp on hospital readmissions.

In this study, researchers designed a mobile application to facilitate asthma self-management and shared decision making through patient-reported outcomes in order to improve outcomes for people with asthma.

This study implemented a mobile health (mHealth) platform to measure patient-reported outcomes for pain management after certain dental procedures to determine the impact on the patient pain experience.

This project will expand, implement, and evaluate the use of a cancer screening platform, the Oncology Symptom Screening Initiative (OSSI), to improve psychosocial screening of cancer patients.

This research used a depression screening questionnaire administered via a patient portal and compared its use to usual in-clinic care. Research findings showed that questionnaire administration via the portal increased the number of patients both screened and monitored for depression.

This research is adapting and scaling a previously piloted mobile application for asthma symptom tracking that has been enhanced with functionality relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic to assist primary care clinicians in better managing their patients with asthma.

This project will evaluate the effects of a technology-based patient-reported outcomes system on patient management of type 2 diabetes in primary care practices.
