More PROMs to choose with HOOS and KOOS!

Many clinicians, particularly in the UK, still need to work on a ‘virtual first’ basis and limit face to face consultations. Technology can help fill that void, and we want to make sure you are making the most of TrackActive’s features.

If you’re a practitioner and haven’t already used TrackActive’s library of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), then we encourage you to give it a try. It is the best way to give you accurate and valid measures of your patient’s progress. We provide a range of PROMs and we have just expanded our library to include the HOOS (Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and KOOS (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score). 

These two measures have been a common request and we are planning on adding more over the coming weeks. 

If you are a first time user and are unsure how to access and use TrackActive’s library of PROMs, please read on or listen to our instructional video.
 

1. Open your patient’s program

To use outcome measures you will need to create or open a patient program. We’ve aligned PROMs to your patient’s programs in the same way as the symptom tracking feature. Once you’ve opened a program, click on the ‘PROMs’ button as shown below.

2. Select a PROM questionnaire

You can now select one of the outcome measures from the drop down box. At the bottom of the screen there is also a references section, where you can read more about the outcome measure you intend to use. 

3. Complete or send to your patient

Once you’ve selected the outcome measure you want, you can either ‘Complete Now’, or send it to your patient via email by pressing ‘Request Completion’. If you choose to email it they will receive a secure smart link. Once they click it they can easily fill out the questionnaire on their computer or mobile phone.

Once your patient has completed it, you will receive an email notification. You can choose to switch these notifications on or off by going to Settings -> Email Settings and selecting the following drop down box.

If you have any questions or would like us to consider adding any specific PROMs, please contact us.
