Patient reported outcomes in a large cohort of patients receiving osteopathic care in the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to evaluate care is being advocated increasingly in clinical settings. Electronic data capture is both resource and environmentally friendly and convenient. This purpose of this study was to test and implement a nationwide system to collect routine PROM data from osteopathic patients using a web and mobile app.

Methods

A prospective study design was used to monitor outcomes of care for patients attending osteopathic clinics. Demographic and service data were collected, the primary outcomes were the Bournemouth Questionnaire and a Global Rating of Change score. Data concerning patients' satisfaction and experience of care were collected also. Data were collected at baseline, one week, and six weeks post-treatment.
