MIssion Statement

The PHO will encourage widespread PROMIS adoption by maintaining open access to all interested parties for item banks, software, and findings from research. We will provide reliable, valid, and cost-effective measurement of relevant health outcomes to the greater scientific and clinical research community and to other health care organizations.

The PHO will establish a broad inventory of methods for capturing PRO data from diverse population groups. These methods will include administering both static short forms and dynamic CAT through various secured delivery platforms; these will allow for different modes of administration while reducing mode effects to maintain reliability. This goal includes developing translations.

The PHO will communicate the value of PROMIS to the scientific and research community, emphasizing the performance of PROMIS instruments in terms of reliability, validity, and responsiveness compared with legacy instruments. We will increase clinical adoption by organizing and presenting PRO data that are relevant and useful to clinicians, patients, and researchers. Finally, we will contribute to re-engineering the clinical research enterprise by creating useful endpoints for clinical trials and research studies.
