Additionally, as the technology partner of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), OutcomeMD works to respect ICHOM’s recommended PROMs for low back pain when possible.
For pain-related conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (for example, pain intensity + depression + anxiety + physical function), 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 Chronic Pain:
- Obtain a current and accurate description of your patient’s experience with pain to inform, treatment decisions
- Patient reported outcomes (PROs) have been used in rehabilitation settings to enable patients to identify their goals and to self-assess their progress for lower back pain interventions1
- Use outcomes that specifically target the patient experience with pain
- For chronic pain, PRO measures (PROMs) provide a defined endpoint where objective clinical markers are often lacking2
- Quickly and easily evaluate the widespread impacts of chronic pain and chronic pain treatments that most affect your patients’ lives, and subsequently, their adherence to treatments
- Clinicians have been shown to prioritize different pain measures (pain intensity, pain interference) than patients (global mental function, mobility) 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)!
