Important questions

You want to implement PRO assessment into clinical practice?

Great!

Before you start, let’s look at some important questions which need to be answered:

What are the consequences of completed PROMs? 

What goal should be achieved with PRO assessment? T What steps are needed to put the PRO assessment into practice? T Where should the implementation take place? 
T What mode of PRO assessment is most suitable?

Which preconditions facilitate or hinder the implementation? T Which PROMs should be assessed when and how? T How does the PRO assessment affect existing practice? T How do I know the implementation is successful?

Who needs to be involved when and for what?

As you can see, there are many components to consider when implementing PROMs. A structured approach makes sure that all relevant aspects are addressed.
