Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)

What is PROMIS?

PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is a set of standardized tools used to measure patient-reported health outcomes. Developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), PROMIS focuses on assessing the physical, mental, and social well-being of patients through self-reported surveys. These tools are widely used in clinical research and healthcare settings to evaluate the impact of diseases, treatments, and interventions from the patient's perspective.

Why does PROMIS matter?

PROMIS is a powerful tool in clinical research and healthcare, providing a standardized, reliable way to measure patient-reported outcomes across a wide range of physical, mental, and social health domains. By using PROMIS, researchers and clinicians can gain a deeper understanding of how diseases and treatments affect patients' quality of life, leading to improved care, better research outcomes, and more informed healthcare decisions.
