Summary

Patient-reported outcome measures are surveys that ask patients how they feel and what activities they can do. These surveys ask about things such as how well people sleep and how much their pain interferes with daily life.

In this study, the research team wanted to learn if two clinics could gather patient-reported outcome measures during routine care visits, and if patients with type 2 diabetes could use the results to set goals for improving their health. The research team also wanted to learn if patients and clinic staff saw value in using these measures.

Study Purpose

(1) To evaluate the feasibility of collecting and using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in routine care for patients with type 2 diabetes; (2) To assess the perceived meaning and value that patients and care-team members see in using PROMs for care planning.

Study Design

The research team conducted a study of the feasibility of using patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) data to help patients with type 2 diabetes set goals for improving their health. The study used the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Profile (PROMIS-29 v2.0) survey, which measures five outcomes: physical function, depression, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and pain interference. A team of patient advisors provided feedback on the study design throughout the study.

The study included 1,864 patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients were from two sites serving diverse patient populations: a federally qualified health center in Connecticut and an academic health center in Oklahoma. The sites modified their existing primary-care-visit workflow to include the intervention. During initial visits, patients completed the PROM survey on paper and had a goal-setting discussion with a member of their care team. After three months, the clinics asked the patients to complete the survey again and discuss progress on their goals with their care team. Finally, the research team interviewed patients, clinicians, and care managers about their views on gathering and using PROM data in the care setting.
