Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are any report of the status of a patient's health condition that comes directly from the patient (or in some cases from a caregiver or surrogate responder), without interpretation by a practitioner or anyone else. PROs are increasingly used as a valuable source of data in different domains of health care, including research, clinical practice, health care management, and decision making on the regulation, coverage, and reimbursement of new technologies. Several factors must be considered when selecting which PRO measure to use to ensure their appropriate use and interpretation as well as their relevance for decision makers. The increasing availability of PRO data, its integration with other data sources, and the improvements in data analytics offer a valuable opportunity to place the patient at the center of any health care process. However, several issues need to be addressed, including interoperability, data governance, security, privacy, and ethics, to realize an effective, integrated, standardized, real-time assessment of PROs in the health care systems.

Abstract
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are any report of the status of a patient's health condition that comes directly from the patient (or in some cases from a caregiver or surrogate responder), without interpretation by a practitioner or anyone else. PROs are increasingly used as a valuable source of data in different domains of health care, including research, clinical practice, health care management, and decision making on the regulation, coverage, and reimbursement of new technologies. Several factors must be considered when selecting which PRO measure to use to ensure their appropriate use and interpretation as well as their relevance for decision makers. The increasing availability of PRO data, its integration with other data sources, and the improvements in data analytics offer a valuable opportunity to place the patient at the center of any health care process. However, several issues need to be addressed, including interoperability, data governance, security, privacy, and ethics, to realize an effective, integrated, standardized, real-time assessment of PROs in the health care systems.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
