Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are questionnaires that patients complete to share how they feel about their health, symptoms, and quality of life. They provide valuable insights directly from patients, helping healthcare providers understand the impact of a condition or treatment from the patient's perspective. PROMs cover aspects like pain, physical functioning, mental well-being, and daily activities. By using these measures, doctors can tailor care more effectively, track progress, and improve overall health management, ensuring that treatment aligns with what matters most to the patient.
