You will be asked to complete patient-reported outcome measure surveys throughout your journey as a patient at HSS. These surveys are used to track your progress in an objective way and help us improve the quality of care for patients like you.
Why are PROMs important?
PROMs are used to study how you feel about your health status in areas such as pain, mobility, and ability to perform daily tasks and specific activities
PROMs help to analyze changes in your condition over time and measure your improvement
PROMs provide data that can be used to make better decisions about care
Types of PROMS
There are two basic types:
General health PROMs can be used to survey patients with any condition. They usually focus on general well-being, mental health and/or quality of life.
Condition-specific PROMs usually concentrate on the symptoms of a particular disease. They may ask questions about your mobility, function or pain levels in certain areas of your body.
Thank you for participating in our ongoing efforts to enhance quality healthcare. For any questions related to PROMs, please reach out to your provider's office.
