Summary

To select the optimal PROMs, a structured, needs-based approach can be used:

Identify the issues to be assessed, considering target groups, assessment timing, and frequency.
Select suitable PROMs for these issues and check their availability.

Consider:

Coordinating the selection process and involving HCPs in the implementation setting to increase relevance and acceptance.
Scientifically developed, disease-specific core outcome sets (COS) to support selection.
The use of the EORTC Item Library to customise PROMs if existing static PROMs do not meet the defined needs.
