Additionally, as the technology partner of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), OutcomeMD works to respect ICHOM’s recommended PROMs for addiction medicine when possible.
For addictions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (for example, addictive behavior + depression + anxiety), OutcomeMD has developed clusters of multiple PROs based on validated medical literature. With our PRO clusters, you will always have a comprehensive view of how your patient is progressing.
As a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, OutcomeMD brings significant value to Addiction Medicine clinicians:
-
Improve your patients’ health and enhance the patient experience by engaging them in routine outcome tracking.
-
Patients whose healthcare providers are monitoring their addiction-related outcomes have better outcomes than those who are not.
-
Easily monitor mental health-related symptoms (depression, anxiety) that are contributing to your patients’ addictions.
-
Patients of healthcare providers who received a progress report of patient-reported depression and anxiety symptom severity from the start of treatment showed a 28% greater improvement at just 6 weeks than those whose clinicians did not receive feedback.
-
Quickly identify your patients who are plateauing or worsening during therapy, and modify their treatment plan accordingly.
-
Without routine monitoring of patient symptoms, clinicians can often overestimate a patient’s health progress and improvement, and not realize that treatment changes are needed.
