| Popis: | A patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure is defined as "any report of the status of a patient's health condition that comes directly from the patient without interpretation of the patient's response by a clinician or anyone else". PRO data are increasingly being used in health care to facilitate monitoring of symptoms, facilitate communication between patients and clinicians, facilitate early identification of problems, and reduce unnecessary outpatient appointments for stable patients.We have designed a PRO system specifically for hydrocephalus, a program named Hydroflex. The aim of Hydroflex is to use PRO measures to decide the need for clinical attention and let the patients report their need regarding a physical consultation. Patients receive questionnaires at home instead of having prescheduled appointments at the outpatient clinic. Based on an automated algorithm, the patients' PRO measures are ranked to help clinical decision-making.In this paper, we describe the implementation and early experience of Hydroflex at our institution.It is our belief that Hydroflex provides more continuity in the treatment of patients with hydrocephalus. Also, it provides for a more standardized follow-up scheme, and we postulate this will lead to improved patient satisfaction and involvement and fewer outpatient appointments. Also, Hydroflex is useful for quality control and prospective research. |
