General practitioners’ views on use of patient reported outcome measures in primary care: a cross-sectional survey and qualitative study

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to assess impact of disease and treatment on quality of life and symptoms; however, their use in primary care is fragmented.

The aim of this study was to investigate how PROMs are currently being used in primary care, the barriers and facilitators of this use and if appropriate how it might be optimised.
