Specialities

Neurological patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) support the diagnosis and treatment of patients with conditions and diseases that affect the nervous system, and track related symptoms such as cognitive function, physical function, and pain behavior.

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

System (PROMIS) validated person-centred measures to track all relevant symptoms including:
- Cognitive function
- Pain interference
- Fine motor skills
- Positive affect and well-being
- Upper extremity function
- Lower extremity function
- Physical function
- Pain intensity
- Pain interference
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sleep disturbance

- PROMIS Computer Adaptive Tests,
- PROMIS, Neuro-QoL, ASCQ-Me, & NIH Toolbox

Additionally, as the technology partner of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), OutcomeMD works to respect ICHOM’s recommended PROMs for dementia, Parkinson's disease, and stroke when possible.

For neurological conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (for example, headache + pain intensity + pain interference), 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 Neurology:

Improve your patients’ health and enhance the patient experience by engaging them in routine outcome tracking.
In a large study of over 16,000 patients in six neurologic practices, the majority of patients reported that patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were easy to understand (96%), useful (83%), improved communication with their clinician (78%) and disease control (71%) [1].
Patients who engaged in PRO-based follow-up for epilepsy reported that when their results were shared with them, it improved patient involvement via enhanced communication with their clinician and better engagement [2].
In a study examining feasibility and acceptability of using electronic PROMs for seizure self-management, patients perceived that their use would reduce medical visits and health-related costs [3].

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.
