When do patient-reported outcome measures inform readmission risk?
The study sought was to characterize changes in patient-reported outcome measures from hospital discharge to assess when they best inform risk of utilization as defined by readmissions or emergency department use. It concluded that routine measurement of patient-reported outcomes can help identify patients at higher risk for utilizations. For example, in-hospital assessments revealing high symptom burden and poor health status predicted 14-day reutilization.
