Improved clinical care and capacity through an integrated electronic patient-reported outcome measure and health record system in inflammatory arthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential for inflammatory arthritis (IA). Collecting electronic PROMs (ePROMs) remotely into electronic patient records (EPRs) enables timely, patient-centred care. This study evaluated the real-world clinical impact, efficiency and feasibility of implementing a fully integrated ePROM system across three IA conditions: rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis.

Methods

From January 2019 to December 2024, IA patients completed ePROMs remotely at regular intervals or on request by patients or clinicians, with data automatically uploaded to the EPR. Alerts based on predefined thresholds prompted clinical review. Patients with stable disease were transitioned to patient-initiated follow-up. Out
