Successful integration of an automated patient-reported outcome measure within a hospital electronic patient record.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this evaluation was to assess the feasibility of implementing a fully integrated, automated, electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROM) system into a hospital electronic patient record (EPR; hospital-based clinical record). Additional objectives included evaluating the effect of the system on patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) completion rates and investigating the acceptability of the ePROM.

Methods

The evaluation was conducted in a rheumatology clinic in a specialist children's hospital in the UK. Paper-based childhood HAQ PROMs were already used in the clinic, and an EPR was the main hospital information system. The technical feasibility of introducing the ePROM technology was assessed using a case study approach; the effect of
