Clarify priorities regarding data use, what interventions should be initiated and who is responsible for that. Ensure all PRO data lead to immediate medical intervention. Discuss PRO data with the patients before initiating interventions to ensure a mutual understanding. Include the patient’s perspective when selecting interventions. Ignore PRO data reporting minor burden due to efficacy reasons. Consider what further information could be needed.
