Feasibility of Using Computerized Adaptive Testing To Capture Patient Reported Outcomes in an Outpatient Setting: A Pilot Evaluation of PROMIS-CAT in Neurosurgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Biden discusses the feasibility of using computerized adaptive testing (CAD) to capture patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in an outpatient setting, specifically in neurosurgery. He explains that PROs are valuable in assessing patients' overall health status, and PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is the NIH standard for capturing PRO measures. Dr. Biden highlights the advantages of PROMIS, including its cross-cutting nature and efficiency in administration. He then discusses the integration of PROMIS-CAD into the electronic health record (EHR) and the pilot study conducted in an outpatient neurosurgery clinic. The completion rates for each domain of the PROMIS-CAD questionnaire and its impact on outpatient satisfaction are also analyzed. Lessons learned from the pilot study and comparisons with other ambulatory settings are shared. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the potential of CAD to increase PRO collection rates and improve patient-provider communication through EHR integration.
