ABSTRACT
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are used to enhance patient-centered care. We developed an electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) system as a cell phone application for home use and tested its feasibility and usefulness. Patients completed PROs via the application before appointments, with clinicians reviewing responses. A post-use questionnaire assessed clarity, response time, and clinician communication improvement. Most patients completed the questionnaire in under five minutes and reported high satisfaction. The ePRO helped identify new health issues, leading to further medical interventions. Overall, ePRO proved valuable for enhancing patient care among people living with HIV, improving clinical communication and medical records.
