Lead Investigator: Michael G. Conner, PsyD & Dave Johnson, MSW, ACSW
Pilot Project
PROM-PM is a pilot project. Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) are patient self-reports about their own health outcomes. This includes symptom and symptom burden, health-related quality of life (including functional status), experience with care and health behaviors. PROMs are performance. alliance or satisfaction measures. A PROM that is based on PROM data aggregated for an accountable healthcare entity. For example, it might be used to describe the percentage of patients whose depression score as measured by the PHQ-9 have improved.
The following is an overview of the project.

Why Use PROMs in Mental Health?
Promote Value Based Care:
Tracking outcomes
Creating data for informed decisions
Promote more succinct communication between mental health and medical health professionals while tracking:
Initial severity & burden of condition
Progress
Response to medications
Need for more intensive treatment
Outcomes
Values include:
Identify patients who are “On Track”
Increase patient engagement in treatment
