ePROM Implementation: 4 Best Practices For System Functionality

By Melissa Newara, VP of Subject Matter Expertise

So far, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have primarily been developed and validated in paper form. Transitioning to electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) demands careful attention to maintain accuracy while prioritizing user-friendliness and accessibility.

The shift from paper to electronic PROMs could potentially alter how respondents interpret and respond to the items, potentially impacting the consistency of measurements across different data capture methods. Thus, adhering to established best practices for a seamless migration is essential.

In this blog post, the author explores four of the 15 system functionality considerations highlighted in the eCOA Consortium article, aiming for a thorough and standardized approach to ePROM implementation. By incorporating these considerations, along with the other recommended practices outlined in the eCOA Consortium article, the necessity for additional comparability testing should be minimized, ensuring a faithful migration process.
