This course will focus on the use of patient reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical and research rehabilitation settings. An introduction to psychometric properties associated with PROs, selection of appropriate PRO measurements, and the significance of the inclusion of PROs in the care of the rehabilitation patient is discussed. Examples are provided to highlight lessons learned in systematizing outcome collection and integration into the electronic health record.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs), NIH Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and psychometric strengths and weaknesses associated with these measures.
• Discuss the importance of using empirically-based PROs within rehabilitation populations.
• Demonstrate and discuss strategies of integrating PROs in clinical and research programs.
• Describe the integration of PROs into electronic health records.
• Discuss advantages, challenges and lessons learned in the administration of PRO measures within the rehabilitation populations.
