HealthMeasures, a partner with the PHO, provides information and guidance on implementing PROMIS measures for us in patient care. 

Enablers and Barriers

A growing number of publications identify enablers and barriers for implementing patient-reported outcome measures for patient care.

Using the Theoretical Domain Framework, a research team at McGill University identified both enablers (e.g., knowledge, reinforcements) and barriers (e.g., decision processes, social influences) for healthcare providers to use patient-reported outcomes scores in cliniclal care for patients with low back pain.

The Society of Gynecologic Oncology's Policy, Quality, and Outcomes Taskforce identified "significant, but surmountable" challenges in integrating patient-reported outcomes measures in healthcare. These include infrastructure, reporting, provider engagement, and patient engagement (Sisodia et al, 2020).
