Improved care

PROMs uncover insights that might otherwise be missed, helping you refine treatment strategies, identify risks earlier, and deliver better outcomes.

PROMs are automated and delivered directly into your workflow. You get meaningful data in real time, freeing you from manual collection and giving you more time with patients.

They do. PROMs empower patients by giving them a voice in their care. Feeling heard increases satisfaction, improves adherence to treatment, and leads to better results.

The system surfaces a clear, actionable to-do list for each patient-so you can focus on the interventions that matter most.

The OutcomeMD solution collects patient self-reported data that can compare treatment protocols and individual clinician strategies to identify those most likely to improve patient outcomes. Identified best practices can then be deployed across your system.

Patients want to be part of their healthcare decisions. PROMs enable true collaboration, leading to stronger adherence and better outcomes.

The system surfaces a timeline view of their wellness, with notifications if a patient is doing poorly and getting worse – so you can focus on the interventions that matter most.

By structuring patient feedback into measurable outcomes, PROMs uncover symptom severity and quality-of-life issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. This leads to more patient-centered decisions.

Yes. Aggregated PROM data highlights service effectiveness and reveals areas for improvement across clinics, networks, or programs.

PROMs reveal a more complete picture of patient well-being than clinical markers alone. They also highlight differences between patient- and clinician-rated symptoms, ensuring no concern is overlooked.

PROMs enhance management of minor illnesses and injuries, wound care, fractures, and long-term conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and arthritis. They also improve medication management by tracking real-world effectiveness.

By streamlining patient visits with routine outcome tracking, PROMs guide visit frequency and care plans. They also reassure patients that their feedback is shaping decisions, strengthening trust and engagement.

PROMs can assess the cost-effectiveness of surgical procedures, support value-based reimbursement models, and provide benchmarks to compare outcomes across interventions.

By tracking progress against established benchmarks, PROMs help reduce complications, ER visits, and readmissions while driving faster, more successful recoveries.

PROMs capture the patient’s perspective on pain, function, and recovery – giving surgeons the insights needed to tailor care and set realistic expectations.

Patient benefits

Yes. Studies show that ongoing communication with clinicians improves satisfaction, emotional support, and overall quality of life during treatment.

PROMs cover a wide range, including physical function, pain intensity, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, and even positive well-being – factors essential for measuring quality of life.

They provide strong evidence linking treatments to patient-reported outcomes – critical for reimbursement in value-based models.

By inviting patients into the process. When patients see their feedback driving decisions-and their scores improving-they feel like true members of the care team.

PROMs are sent directly to your healthcare team – it’s the fastest way to make sure they know how you’re doing. Note that that they might not see your reports right away, so if anything urgent comes up, be sure to reach out to your doctor directly.

It turns your updates into actionable insights for your doctor, so care decisions are based on real-time data-not just snapshots in time.

PROMs capture data on symptoms, functional status, and quality of life, helping clinicians monitor progression and tailor treatment plans that most closely reflect the patient’s needs.

Patients feel empowered when their voice shapes care decisions. PROMs foster collaboration, increase adherence to treatment, and strengthen trust in the provider relationship.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

PROMs are medically-validated assessments that capture a patient’s view of their health, symptoms, and quality of life – before, during, and after treatment.

Patients see PROMs as a meaningful way to share their experience. They believe this improves communication and leads to faster, better outcomes.

Patients appreciate being heard. PROMs make them active participants in their care, improving satisfaction and outcomes.

They strengthen communication, monitor treatment effectiveness in real time, and allow faster course corrections. Most importantly, they give patients a bigger voice in their own care.

Patients know their progress is being tracked regularly, not just at monthly check-ins. Seeing their Improvement Score in the app reinforces accountability and motivates them to stay on track.

Yes. Patients can share feedback between visits without pressure, and providers get the data they need to explain, adjust, and refine treatment.

Patient-reported outcome tracking five you a direct line into your care, showing your treatment’s impact and keeping your voice part of every decision, at every step along the way to wellness.

Patients see PROMs as a meaningful way to share their experience. They believe this improves communication and leads to faster, better outcomes.

Our dataset provides a powerful foundation for assessing treatment impact, tracking clinical milestones, and conducting in-depth analyses of safety, efficacy, and patient quality of life.

OutcomeMD’s dataset covers hundreds of validated PROMs across primary care, oncology, mental health, and chronic diseases, and more. We can also collaborate to identify specific measures tailored to your specific research or trial needs.

Yes. Biopharma firms actively seek PROMs data to complement trials and strengthen regulatory filings. Both the FDA and EMA accept PROMs as validated endpoints.

Clinical data is precise but infrequent. PROMs provide continuous, patient-centered updates between visits – creating a richer, more complete view when combined with clinical results.

Yes. PROMs actively involve patients in reporting symptoms, well-being, and progress, making them more engaged and invested in their care.

They provide structured, measurable insights into conditions like depression or anxiety, helping guide treatment choices and track effectiveness over time.

Yes. Studies show that ongoing communication with clinicians improves satisfaction, emotional support, and overall quality of life during treatment.

PROMs cover a wide range, including physical function, pain intensity, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, and even positive well-being – factors essential for measuring quality of life.

They provide strong evidence linking treatments to patient-reported outcomes – critical for reimbursement in value-based models.

Privacy and security

OutcomeMD follows established HITRUST and HIPAA frameworks designed to support data security and privacy. While no system can guarantee absolute protection, these frameworks provide a structured approach to managing sensitive information and helping to safeguard data for patients, clinicians, and your organization.

Yes. Your data is only shared with your care team and is always HIPAA-compliant.

Depending on the specialty and treatment, the dataset may include symptom severity, functional status, treatment impacts, efficacy measures, and quality-of-life indicators-captured over time and ready to integrate with your internal datasets for a more complete analysis.

Reimbursements

Often, yes. PROMs provide the regulatory-grade evidence insurers and payers require – helping you negotiate higher rates, secure approvals, and maximize performance in a value-based model.

Patient-reported outcome data proves treatment effectiveness for value-based care, supports risk adjustment, and helps secure payment for codes that might otherwise be denied.

PROMs provide the evidence payers demand – proving treatment effectiveness, supporting risk adjustments, and securing payment for codes that might otherwise be denied.

Yes. Payers increasingly trust patient-reported data as the most honest measure of success. PROMs are becoming essential to maximizing reimbursement.
