Feedback to Patients About Patient-reported Outcomes Does Not Improve Empowerment or Satisfaction.

CONCLUSIONS: PROM feedback did not have a clinically important impact on empowerment or satisfaction. This might indicate that counseling based on PROMs during a single visit may be ineffective. The most important positive finding is that more effective coping strategies are associated with greater patient empowerment.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, therapeutic study.
