Patient-reported outcome measures

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are tools used to collect information directly from patients about their health, quality of life, and treatment experiences. They include questionnaires or surveys where patients describe their symptoms, functional abilities, and overall well-being. PROMs help healthcare providers understand the impact of a disease or treatment from the patient's perspective, guiding better care and improving healthcare services. By focusing on the patient's voice, PROMs ensure that medical decisions align with what matters most to those receiving care.
