Improving patient feedback completion rates with a personalized approach
Impact of an Enhanced Patient Reported Outcome Measurement (PROM) Strategy on PROM Completion Rates, Decision Support, and Patient Experience: A Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Study
This study tests a new way to help patients fill out health surveys by making them easier and more personal, to see if that encourages more people to complete them.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates a new strategy for enhancing Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) to improve completion rates among patients. The approach includes providing a primer before administering PROMs, utilizing a simplified three-part survey, and incorporating goal-setting questions. Patients in the intervention group will also receive reminders and feedback on their responses to encourage engagement. The aim is to address common barriers to PROM completion, such as perceived irrelevance and burden, by making the process more personalized and user-friendly.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are new patients who speak either English or Spanish.
Not a fit: Patients with cognitive deficiencies that prevent them from completing PROMs or those who speak languages other than English or Spanish may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to higher completion rates of PROMs, resulting in better patient-clinician communication and improved health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been various approaches to enhance PROM completion, this specific personalized strategy is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
