Capturing quality of life via patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is critical to understanding the patient experience in the course of disease and treatment. This information can improve clinical care and the development of new therapies. Conventional approaches to developing PRO instruments rely heavily on input of leading physicians and cursory or indirect input from patients. Capturing more granular and direct input from patients on outcomes related to social impact, emotional impact, daily functional living, coping, disease and treatment burden, and satisfaction with therapies would be useful to building and validating a PRO instrument. In particular, online platforms for patient communities stand to accelerate and optimize collection of this input.

Learning Objectives

Describe the process for developing patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments; Identify the challenges of developing PRO instruments; Explain the benefits and risks of using data and input from patient communities (including those online); Discuss alternate methods to develop PRO tools.
