Patient-reported Outcomes (PROs) are powerful tools for understanding patients’ perspectives of their disease. While they have been increasingly used in clinical trials and observational research, their potential to improve routine clinical and disease management is just developing. Join Dr. John Spertus, cardiologist and the Lauer/Missouri Endowed Chair and Professor of Medicine at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he serves as Clinical Director of Outcomes Research at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute (MAHI), who has pioneered the development and use of PROs in cardiology. He will discuss their potential in clinical practice and quality assessment to improve the patient-centeredness and value of healthcare.
