6. Implementation of PRO assessment in clinical practice
4. Model the target workflow
After analysing local conditions, use the findings to model a practicable, implementable workflow for PRO assessment that integrates data collection into clinical routines and supports reliable, scalable use.
introducing/distributing the PRO assessment to patients
reminding/supporting patients to complete the PRO assessment
(re-)viewing completed PRO data
reacting on PRO data (communication, clinical action or patient self-management).

In a radiation oncology inpatient clinic, patients complete the EORTC QLQ‑C30 at therapy initiation or hospital admission to identify needs and guide early supportive care.:
