Patient-reported outcome.

Patient-reported outcomes record the status of a patient’s health, physical functioning, symptoms, and treatment experience as reported by the patient without the interpretation of doctors or other health care professionals. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which include surveys, questionnaires, diaries, and other assessments, were initially developed for use in medical research to assess the efficacy of various treatment models. PROMs are also used to collect patient feedback for the purposes of clinical management.
