Patient-centered care is essential to providing high-quality value-based care. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are arguably the best tools available to orthopaedic providers for providing patient-centered care. Many clinical opportunities exist for the implementation of PROMs into routine practice, such as shared decision-making, mental health screening, and prediction of postoperative disposition. Routine use of PROMs is also an adjunct to the streamlining of documentation, patient intake, and telemedicine visits, and hospitals can aggregate PROMs for the purpose of risk stratification. Physicians can harness the power of PROMs for quality improvement initiatives and improvement of the patient experience. Despite these numerous applications, PROMs are frequently underutilized tools. Understanding the many benefits of PROMs may allow orthopaedic practices to justify investing in these valuable tools.

以患者为中心的护理对于提供高质量的基于价值的护理至关重要。患者报告的结果测量 (PROM) 可以说是骨科提供者提供以患者为中心的护理的最佳工具。将 PROM 实施到常规实践中存在许多临床机会，例如共同决策、心理健康筛查和术后处置预测。PROM 的常规使用也是简化文档、患者入院和远程医疗访问的辅助手段，医院可以汇总 PROM 以进行风险分层。医生可以利用 PROM 的力量来提高质量并改善患者体验。尽管有这些众多的应用，PROM 经常是未被充分利用的工具。
