Description
What if you could only ask one question of the patient during a clinic visit? Further, suppose the patient’s biggest concern can pragmatically be incorporated into routine clinical care and clinical pathways that can address the patient’s single biggest con- cern can be identified. If the principal concern can be dealt with efficiently at each visit through key stakeholder case management, positive outcomes should result. Therefore, motivated by the need for patient-centered health care visits, the Beacon electronic patient- reported outcomes (PRO) quality of life (QOL) tool was developed.
