From Bench to Bedside: Clinical practice examples
After all the theory, a few examples will now follow to illustrate how PROMs are used in real-life clinical practice:
- Radiation oncology department, University Hospital Halle, Germany (inpatient clinic)
- The Netherlands Cancer Institute - Antoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (outpatient clinic)
- University Hospital of Besançon - Oncology Unit, France (dayclinic)

You don’t need to work through everything from start to finish. Feel free to browse and dip into the examples that are closest to your own clinical setting. The idea is to spark ideas, offer practical inspiration, and maybe even motivate your next steps. Enjoy exploring!
You will find answers concerning aim of PRO assessment, selection and setup of PROMs, implementation of PRO assessment, interpretation of PROMs, communication of PRO data, intitiation of clinical interventions, PRO-based self-management of patients.
