Clinicians

PROMIS provides clinicians efficient, reliable, and valid assessments of adult and child self–reported health including ability to function, symptoms, feelings and perceptions; all measures are based on a rigorous methodology.

PROMIS measures can be used as primary or secondary endpoints in clinical studies of the effectiveness of treatment. They are particularly important to evaluating the effectiveness of health care for conditions which have no cure; since for these, the goal of therapy is to improve patients’ abilities to function and to reduce symptoms associated with the condition. PROMIS enables clinicians to describe the implications of therapy to patients' lives including what they are able to do and how they feel.
