Capturing the patient voice: implementing patient-reported outcomes across the health system.
This study reported learnings and practice insights from University of Wisconsin’s (UW’s) efforts to implement patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a healthcare system. The researchers engaged with UW Medicine clinical and administrative stakeholders experienced with PRO implementation. There were 14 total implementations conducted, and nearly half captured shared clinical domains. They developed three vignettes that illustrate how users interact with PRO, characterize common ways PRO implementations support clinical care across the health system, and elucidate opportunities to enhance efficient PRO implementations.

Who represents me? A patient-derived model of patient engagement via patient and family advisory councils (PFACs).
This study examined what expectations would be from patients who are not patient and family advisory council (PFAC) members of PFACs. Patients and caregivers from the Johns Hopkins Medical Alliance for Patients, LLC were recruited in 2014. This Medicare accountable care organization has an established PFAC, the Beneficiary Advisory Council. Five focus groups with 42 patients and caregivers participated. Most participants were not aware of PFACs and wanted to know more about representation, what they could do and expected that patients could communicate with PFACs if desired.

Incorporating patient-reported outcomes into health care to engage patients and enhance care.
The authors examine the opportunities for using patient-reported outcomes to enhance care delivery and outcomes as health care information needs and technology platforms change. They highlight emerging practices in which patient-reported outcomes provide value to patients and clinicians and improve care delivery. Finally, they examine present and future challenges to maximizing the use of patient-reported outcomes in the clinic.
