How to "take the temperature" of health status and quality of life?
What the patient says about their form from day to day is essential information for digital home follow-up to be successful. In order to provide the best possible service, health personnel in hospitals and in municipalities can rely on research-based forms and questions.
Find out more about Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM).
We envision that PROM must be a central part of digital home follow-up for the vast majority of chronic diseases.
What are good questions to ask in digital home monitoring? Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) can help you with that.
PROMs are research-based tools where the patient "takes their temperature" of their own state of health and quality of life. The answers have limit values and set the conditions for follow-up by health personnel in the municipality or in hospital. It is also possible to change the questions based on previous measurements, so that they are as relevant as possible for the patient.
Which PROM forms are there and what do you need to know before you start using them?
