Original Question(s):

We are reaching out to ask your department to participate in a benchmarking survey regarding how various institutions incorporate patient or patient-proxy reported outcome measures (PROs) in acute care.

As part of an initiative to better understand the use of patient reported outcome measures, we are gathering data from institutions across the country. Your insights will contribute to a broader understanding of current practices and will help us identify opportunities for improving patient care and outcomes.

1. What institution are you from?
2. What is your discipline?
3. Does your institution use patient or patient-proxy reported outcome measures (PROs) in acute care?
4. If so which patient or patient-proxy reported outcome measures (PROs)?
5. How often do you repeat the PROs?
6. Do you use the same PROs to evaluate these patients in the outpatient setting (clinic or standard outpatient) as well?
7. What barriers exist that inhibit the completion of PROs in acute care at your institution?
