In nursing, PROs are critically important for several reasons:
Enhanced Patient-Centered Care: By integrating PROs, nurses can tailor treatments and care plans to better meet the individual needs and preferences of patients. Improved Communication: PROs facilitate better communication between patients and healthcare providers, ensuring that the patient’s voice is heard in the decision-making process. Quality Improvement: Data from PROs can be used to identify areas for improvement in clinical practice and patient care processes. Outcome Measurement: PROs provide measurable outcomes that can be used to assess the effectiveness of interventions and treatments.
