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

Pediatrics

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) effectively and routinely track quality of life related to conditions and diseases that affect children, while scoring symptoms such as pain, fatigue, anxiety and physical function.

Examples of common Pediatrics PROMs in OutcomeMD:

Condition	PROM	PROM use in literature
ADHD	Vanderbilt ADHD Assessment Scale	Vanderbilt ADHD Assessment Scale use
Atopic dermatitis	Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI)*	CDLQI use
Asthma	NIH PROMIS CAT Parent Proxy - Asthma Impact NIH PROMIS CAT - Pediatric Asthma Impact	PROMIS Asthma Impact use
Autism	Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT) - parent proxy	Q-CHAT use
Dry eye disease	Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)	OSDI use
Eczema	Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM)- child	POEM use
Epilepsy	Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire (QOLIE)-48* Impact of Pediatric Epilepsy Scale - Parent Proxy*	QOLIE-48 use IPES use
All pediatric conditions	National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) validated person-centred measures to track all relevant symptoms including: Asthma impact Global health Physical function Pain intensity Pain interference Sleep disturbance 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 certified partner of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), OutcomeMD works to respect ICHOM’s recommended PROMs for pediatric facial palsy, congenital upper limb anomalies, craniofacial microsomia, cleft lip and palate, depression and anxiety for children, and overall pediatric health when possible.

For pediatric conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain, 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 Pediatrics:

Tracking patient reported outcomes (PROs) can provide insight into the potential impacts of disease that affect treatment adherence
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 symptom scores¹
Quickly identify your patients who are plateauing or worsening during therapy, and modify their treatment plan accordingly
Collecting health-related quality of life data led to better communication between clinicians and pediatric patients at visits, as demonstrated by more emotional problems being openly identified and discussed, better self-esteem for the patient, and higher psychosocial functioning²

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)!
