Find out how to leverage OutcomeMD to get better outcomes and increased patient volume.

OBGYN

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) effectively monitor the health-related quality-of-life impact of gynecological conditions, and also routinely track common gynecological symptoms such as physical function, fatigue and pain.

Examples of common OBGYN PROMs in OutcomeMD:

Condition	PROM	PROM use in literature
Endometriosis	Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ)	MSQ use
Hysterectomy	Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (UFQ-QoL) – Hysterectomy	UFS-QoL - Hysterectomy use
Menopause symptoms	Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL)*	MENQOL use
Polycystic ovarian syndrome	Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale*	BICI use HADS use
Uterine fibroids	Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (Symptoms Only)	UFS-QoL use
Vaginal infection	Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ)	VSQ use
All gynecological conditions including chronic pelvic pain and female sexual function	National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) validated person-centred measures to track all relevant symptoms including: Pain behavior Pain interference Anxiety Depression Sleep disturbance Vaginal discomfort Below are links for more information on OutcomeMD’s use of 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 pregnancy and childbirth when possible.

For gynecological conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (menstrual symptoms + pain behavior + 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 Obstetrics and Gynecology:

Provide comprehensive and long-term care management
Patient reported outcomes (PROs) demonstrated that patients with ovarian cancer do not eventually resume their usual quality of life after conclusion of their treatment, and instead have significant detrimental changes that may be chronic and permanent, with important implications for the need for patient counselling¹
Identify and engage in best practices to meet patient needs
Use of PRO data collection resulted in quality improvement changes at a hospital level, to enhance communication with patients about their procedure and a greater focus on post-operative pain relief following hysterectomy²

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)!
