Patient Reported Measures and Outcomes in Participatory Medicine
Patient reported measures and outcomes in participatory medicine focuses on the patient’s role in identifying the direct and indirect effects of a clinical or healthcare intervention, or program. Patient reported measures and outcomes in participatory medicine are those data points and measures which are collected and analyzed by the patient to determine program or intervention success, for example. Patient reported outcomes are reports directly of health status by a patient, without a medical suggestion by the healthcare provider. Patient reported measures and outcomes in participatory medicine are distinct from Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) because of the role of the patient in the scientific discipline of participatory medicine.
