Description

The effective use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can play a critical role in improving health care delivery and patient experience with care. Some electronic health records (EHRs) are able to capture structured PRO data, but this information is not commonly collected at the point of care. In addition, standards have not previously existed to guide and inform the collection and integration of PRO data into health information technology systems, thereby limiting the ability to easily share these data across providers. This demonstration will highlight a SMART on FHIR® application that enables the collection and sharing of standardized PRO data across health systems. The audience will observe how the application is used to collect PROMIS® measures, connects to a secure FHIR® endpoint, and sends these data for storage and subsequent retrieval. The demonstration will also include a customized data visualization of the PROMIS® scores and survey responses that healthcare providers would see in the EHR. In addition, the demonstration will show the “data on demand” feature that expedites site-specific implementation by eliminating the need to create data feeds through proprietary interface engineering. The architecture of the PRO data collection and visualization ecosystem features a decentralized, scalable, and replicable model.

Learning Objective: 1. Understanding how a SMART on FHIR application is used to collect PROMIS® measures, connects to a secure FHIR® endpoint, and sends these data for storage and subsequent retrieval.
2. Learning about customized data visualization of the PROMIS® scores and survey responses in the EHR.
3. Learning about the “data on demand” feature that expedites site-specific implementation by eliminating the need to create data feeds through proprietary interface engineering.
