Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Infrastructure Workshop

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) along with the PCORI Methodology Committee hosted a Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Infrastructure Workshop to discuss strategies for increasing the use of PROs into electronic health records (EHRs). The workshop was focused on developing an action plan for enhancing use of PROs for clinical care, research, and performance monitoring. It joined patients, clinicians, researchers, healthcare system leaders, policy makers, and other key stakeholders in this important discussion. Web results were discussed during a moderated session on Day 2 (Breakout Session 3: 11:15am -12:30pm EST).

Workshop Slide Presentations:

• Panel Presentation #1: What is the Value of Using PROs in EHRs?
• Panel Presentation #2: Regulatory and Quality Drivers of PRO Use
• Panel Presentation #3: Clinician and Patient Use of PRO Data through EHR
• Panel Presentation #4: Integration of Research, Clinical Care, and Quality
• Panel Presentation #5: Research Use of PRO Data from EHRs
