2. Benefits of PROMs for clinical practice
Support of clinical processes of therapy and care (1)
The use of PROMs can contribute to planning, conducting and optimising therapy and care and to a better flow of information in the multiprofessional team by
- recognising patients’ consultation and care needs
- recognising and treating burden (e.g. symptoms) in time and thereby prevent exacerbation
- increasing the efficacy of discussions with patients and other HCPs through focusing on relevant aspects (e.g. severe burden).
