Routine patient reported outcomes as predictors of psychiatric rehospitalization.

Objective: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to measure psychiatric service consumers' progress and to provide feedback to consumers and providers. We tested whether PROMs can predict and be used to identify groups at high risk for future hospitalization.

Methods: A total of 2842 Israeli users of psychiatric rehabilitation services reported on their quality of life (QoL) and the effect of symptoms on their daily functioning.
