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

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.
Examples of common Pulmonology PROMs in OutcomeMD:
ConditionPROM PROM use in literature
Asthma
  • NIH PROMIS CAT - Asthma Impact
  • NIH PROMIS CAT - Pediatric Asthma Impact
PROMIS asthma Impact use
Bronchoscopy
  • Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale
  • Rose Dyspnea Scale
Modified Borg use
COPD
  • COPD Assessment Test (CAT)*
  • Medical Research Council - Breathlessness Scale
CAT useMRC - Breathlessness Scale use use
Snoring
  • Snoring Symptoms Inventory
SSI use
All pulmonology conditions

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 critical1
  • 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 scores2
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)!

DO YOU NEED A PROM
THAT IS NOT IN OUTCOMEMD?
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.
Great Patient Outcomes
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)!
