Meaningful Clinical Applications of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics.

»: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) comprise valuable data, when combined with traditional clinical information, for patient-centered health outcome assessment.

»: While PROMs form the foundation of orthopaedic clinical research, they are invaluable tools for clinical care.

»: PROMs play a critical role in shared decision-making with patients, as they are quantitative measures of patient health (function, pain, and satisfaction).

»: PROMs should be incorporated into routine postoperative care for effective clinical monitoring and understanding of the response to surgery.

»: PROMs can be additionally utilized for meaningful clinical research, predictive analytics, and value-based care delivery pathways.
