Urology

Urology-related patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide support for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases that affect the male and female urinary tract, through tracking of symptoms such as sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence and irritation, as well as overall physical and mental well-being.
Examples of common Urology PROMs in OutcomeMD:

  • Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q)
  • King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ)*

All urology conditions
  • National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) validated person-centred measures to track all relevant symptoms including:
    • Pain behavior
    • Physical function
    • Erectile function
    • Sexual function - male

For urology conditions that encompass more than one patient area or domain (pelvic floor dysfunction + pain intensity + anxiety), 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 Urology:

  • Facilitate outcome-based decision-making by providing your patients with more detailed, tailored information about treatment effects
  • Patient reported outcome (PRO) data has been shown to help urologists communicate with their patients about the benefits, risks and expectations associated with treatments, beyond conventional endpoints, to symptom burden and impact on quality of life1
  • In a study where PRO measures (PROMs) were administered to patients after various treatments for prostate cancer, the results indicated that physical and psychological symptoms were associated with treatment regret;2 PRO data can aid with helping patients to understand what their individualized outcomes may be with surgery, and improve the probability of satisfaction
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)!
