About

The overall goal of this proposal is to address barriers to the use of patient reported outcome (PRO) data in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system.

Full description

This is a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study that compares outcome data in patients for whom PRO data either is or is not made available to the treating physician. The question addressed by this proposal is whether patient reported outcome (PRO) data change patient's outcomes. The hypothesis is that the availability of these data in the form of the patient-completed Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire/routine assessment of patient index data (MDHAQ/RAPID3) questionnaire will change patient-centric outcomes such as patient reported well-being, patient satisfaction and medication compliance.
