Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) effectively quantify the quality-of-life impact of dermatological diseases, and can also score and track common symptoms such as pruritis and pain.

Dermatology PROM Examples:

All dermatological conditions

National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information

System (PROMIS) validated person-centred measures to track all relevant symptoms including:
- Pain intensity
- Pain behavior
- Pain interference
- Depression

For dermatological conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (for example, melanoma + anxiety + depression), 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.

The Value of OutcomeMD to Dermatology:

Supplement your understanding of your patients’ health condition based on clinical markers, with real-time outcomes that are meaningful to your patients.
Nearly one-third of patients rated the severity of their dermatological condition differently than their clinician did, supporting the importance of obtaining the patient perspective [1].
Facilitate continuous, improved communication with your patients about their symptoms and health experiences to ensure you always have complete and current data to inform treatment decisions.
Patients often find it difficult to discuss flare-ups and new symptoms with their clinicians at in-person visits until they are at a stage where they can no longer cope, and their quality of life has already been adversely affected [2].

Did your patient have a great outcome? With OutcomeMD, your patients with good outcomes can now publicly celebrate their improvement with ease by posting on their social media accounts (lead generation) and on your review sites (reputation management)!

Need a specific PROM?

We routinely add new, validated PROMs into OutcomeMD to ensure that you can track all patient outcomes that will allow you to optimize care management. If you would like to send your patients a PROM that is not yet available in our software platform, let us know.
