"Unspoken Questions:" A Qualitative Study of Rheumatologists' Perspectives on the Clinical Implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures.

CONCLUSION: Rheumatologists identified multiple mechanisms through which PROMs could augment clinical care, but also noted several obstacles to implementation, questioning the added value of PROMs and the limited availability of interventions to improve patient-centered outcomes. Programs seeking to successfully integrate PROMs to enhance patient-centered care and meet quality benchmarks should prioritize physician buy-in and training and provide resources to address the outcomes that are measured.
