Glossary Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

tools for patients to report their health and treatment outcomes

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are tools used to gather information directly from patients about their health status, quality of life, and the effectiveness of treatments from their perspective. These measures are crucial in both clinical practice and research as they provide insights into how patients feel and function, which can help guide treatment decisions and improve healthcare outcomes.
