Measuring what Matters Most: Integrating Patient-Reported Outcome Measures into the Alberta Rheumatology Provincial Learning Health System
FY 2025-26
Summary
Inflammatory arthritis causes pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. People with inflammatory arthritis may experience fatigue, anxiety, depression, and difficulties dealing with day-to-day activities. Unfortunately, these health concerns are not measured routinely at rheumatology visits. This leads to missed opportunities to address patients' healthcare needs and improve outcomes. Patient-reported outcome measures are standard questionnaires also known as PROMs. PROMs assess patient physical, mental, or social health status. This project aims to understand how to best include PROMs in clinic visits. We will use this
information to develop a strategy to start to collect patient-reported outcomes provincially. This project will help patients and providers to better address patient healthcare needs.

Abstract
Inflammatory arthritis causes pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. People with inflammatory arthritis may experience fatigue, anxiety, depression, and difficulties dealing with day-to-day activities. Unfortunately, these health concerns are not measured routinely at rheumatology visits. This leads to missed opportunities to address patients' healthcare needs and improve outcomes. Patient-reported outcome measures are standard questionnaires also known as PROMs. PROMs assess patient physical, mental, or social health status. This project aims to understand how to best include PROMs in clinic visits. We will use this
