Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures Collection Method by Timeframe: Different Strategies for Different Times

The authors aimed to evaluate the collection methods and response rates of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in a regional arthroplasty registry to identify strategies for improving data collection. Their findings revealed that completion rates for PROMs varied significantly based on patient demographics and the timing of the surveys, with a notable shift towards remote collection methods as time from surgery increased. The study suggests that tailored strategies are necessary to enhance PROMs collection in accordance with CMS standards.
