Brief Session Description : Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM’s) are the “new axis” in healthcare outcomes. By incorporating PROM’s, rehabilitation teams can better understand and then improve patient’s functional outcomes, the “outcomes that matter the most to the patient”. This session will review the PROM development and workflows to assign, collect, display and report from experience of two different outpatient amputee clinics utilizing the Plus-M and other selected metrics.
