A hospital is integrating PROMs into its Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to improve post-operative care. What is the biggest technical challenge they are likely to face?
A patient reports significantly worse quality of life outcomes through a PROMs survey after a joint replacement surgery, yet the surgeon insists that the objective clinical indicators (range of motion, X-ray findings) suggest a successful operation. The physician chooses to dismiss the PROMs data.
What is the most significant ethical concern in this scenario?
A cardiologist is using PROMs data to monitor heart failure patients. One patient reports persistent fatigue and shortness of breath, but their vital signs and echocardiogram results are normal. What should be the cardiologist’s next step?
