Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses patient reported outcome measures (PROM) and their importance in healthcare. The speaker explains that PROMs are used to measure a patient's perception of their own health and treatment outcomes. The video covers the basic principles of PROMs, including responsiveness, reliability, and validity. The speaker emphasizes the need to understand the biases and limitations of PROMs, such as ceiling and floor effects, and the minimally clinically important difference (MCID). The potential risks of using PROMs, such as influencing reimbursement and gaming the system, are also highlighted. The speaker concludes by suggesting a balanced approach that combines PROMs with objective measures for the best patient care.
