Conference Instructional Objectives
Attendees will become familiar with:
- Using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patient-centered value-based health care, from clinical trials and routine care to health system evaluation, performance measurement, and accountability.
- Using PROMIS measures to address practical measurement problems in health-related research and clinical practice.
- 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.
- Determining how PROMIS can be used for screening, symptom management and monitoring in rare and chronic diseases.
