PROMs (Patient-reported Outcomes Measures)

Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are tools that gather information directly from patients about how they feel and function regarding their health and treatments. They often involve questionnaires asking about symptoms, pain, mental health, and daily activities. PROMs help healthcare providers understand the patient's perspective, monitor progress, and assess the effectiveness of treatments. They ensure that patient experiences and quality of life are central to medical care, providing valuable insights that might not be captured through clinical tests alone.
