Description
An increasing number of healthcare organizations capture patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to better monitor patients' health status. The purpose of this study was to assess patients' comprehension of visualizations that display longitudinal changes in PROs. Non-graph visualizations (visual analogies) enhanced understanding of longitudinal PROs compared to text only, but line graphs did not. Our results support using visualizations rather than text to display longitudinal PROs, but caution against relying on line graphs.
Learning Objective: Learn challenges and possible solutions to visualizing patient-reported outcomes over time
