- Using PROMIS measures to improve community, opportunity, and engagement across all patients in health-related research and clinical practice.
- Using PROMIS measures to inform individual and population-based patient care, clinical quality improvements, enhance value in health systems, and to meet regulatory/payor requirements.
- Applying implementation strategies to move PROMIS from research settings into clinical practice or health-system wide integration.
- Benefitting from psychometrically developed measures, like PROMIS to inform individual and group level change scores and support rigorous outcome assessment.
