Video Summary

Paul Bruning, Director for the Neuromusculoskeletal Service Line at Sutter Health in Silicon Valley, discusses the history and importance of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) in healthcare. He emphasizes the shift towards value-based care and the role of PROMs in assessing quality and outcomes in medical treatment. Mentioning the CMS-preferred PROMIS-10 measure for quality of life, Bruning highlights the significance of assessing patient-reported outcomes for surgical care, such as joint-specific surveys like HOOS and COOS. He stresses the need for collecting and analyzing PROMs data for benchmarking, quality improvement, and negotiating with payers, especially as CMS mandates require hospitals to track and report on PROMs data. Bruning also addresses challenges in collecting responses, optimizing response rates, and leveraging outcomes data for enhancing patient care, provider performance, and contract negotiations with insurers. Ultimately, he underscores the growing importance of PROMs in healthcare decision-making and value demonstration.
