- Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are direct reports from patients about their own health, quality of life, and/or functional status. They relate to healthcare services (routine or specialized) or treatments patients have received on their care journey. When care teams use PROs, they facilitate patient-centred care and foster better engagement between patients and their healthcare team.
- The implementation, administration, and applied use of PROs, a primary pillar of value-based healthcare (VBHC), is a significant organizational undertaking involving care teams, integrated information technology, and support services.
- As part of a quality improvement initiative focused on the use of PROs with colorectal cancer patients, we collaborated with the Segal Cancer Centre at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS) du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal to explore opportunities to improve the systematic collection and use of PROs to support patient care and clinical excellence.
