No date for the PROM: the association between patient-reported health events and clinical coding in primary care.

Objective: It is unclear whether data from patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are captured and used by clinicians despite policy initiatives. We examined the extent to which fall risk and urinary incontinence (UI) reported on PROMS and provided to clinicians prior to a patient visit are subsequently captured in the electronic medical record (EMR). Additionally, we aimed to determine whether the use of PROMs and EMR documentation is higher for visits where PROM data was provided to clinicians.

A medical home: changing the way patients and teams relate through patient-centered care plans.

The patient-centered medical home model incorporates patient-centered care as a central tenet and espouses the health care team partnering with an engaged patient. The tools to accomplish this type of care have not evolved along with these values. This report describes how the adoption and use of a patient-centered care plan (PCCP) document enhanced care for complex patients and changed the relationships with health team members.
