Pulmonology
Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are immensely useful in tracking the impact on quality of life of conditions and diseases that affect the lungs and respiratory tract, as well as the trajectory of related symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and dyspnea.
Pulmonology PROM Examples:
All pulmonology conditions
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information
-
System (PROMIS) validated person-centred measures to track all relevant symptoms including:
-
Global health
-
Pain interference
-
Fatigue

For pulmonology conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (shortness of breath + pain intensity), 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 Pulmonology:
-
Improve your patients’ health and quality of life by engaging them in routine outcome tracking that will guide intervention decisions
-
For patients with lung diseases that are incurable, the ability to make quick, informed therapy modifications that ease their burden and improve their ability to function is critical [1]
-
Tracking patient reported outcomes (PROs) can provide insight into the potential impacts of disease that may not be possible through biomedical markers alone
-
Children with asthma who repeatedly report poor asthma symptoms, pain, fatigue, and depression were more likely to have lower school performance and more trouble concentrating during the day due to tiredness, than children who reported better scores [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.
Longitudinal and comprehensive
Gain access to longitudinal patient data seamlessly integrating both clinical data and Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), offering a comprehensive natural history of disease.
