Selection of PROMs for clinical practice

Test your knowledge!

Q1 / 3

Select all aspects that should be considered when selecting adequate PROMs.

The specific needs and characteristics of the target population should be considered. The length and complexity of the PROM should be appropriate for the intended use. The timing of when the PROM will be administered should be carefully planned. The frequency with which the PROM can be used should be determined. The PROM should focus solely on the most severe cases of the condition to save resources. Details of PROM licensing should be clarified (free to use, partly free, payable) The potential burden for patients is negligible as PROMs are easy to complete. Relevant interest-holders should be included in the PROM selection process.

Q2 / 3

Which approach can you use if the available PRO questionnaire does not include all relevant issues you want to assess?

Reread slide

Discontinue the use of PROMs entirely. Use open-ended questions instead. Write up your own questionnaire. Select a random PROM as it is better than using no PROMs. Use the Item Library of the EORTC to customise PROMs. Use PROMs designed for completely different medical conditions or populations.

Q3 / 3

In which ways can the EORTC item library support your selection of PROMs?

Reread slide

Facilitates identification of specific questions Enables creating and saving individual question lists. Automatically generates a complete PROM. Provides detailed information of the included PROMs (including phase, translations, scales, publications, and similar questions) Requires extensive manual validation of each item before use.
