HealthMeasures PRO-PMs
HealthMeasures patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are included in PRO-performance measures (PRO-PMs).
PRO-PMs are used to track or report on the performance of healthcare providers and healthcare delivery organizations with an aim of improving the quality of healthcare services. Such use is likely to become more common as PROMIS and other PROs are increasingly integrated into electronic health records, registries, and routine practice workflow.
PROMIS PRO-PMs
- The PROMIS Global Health scale is included in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model.
- PROMIS Pain Interference (MBHR3) is used in a PRO-PM for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) through the American Psychological Association’s Mental and Behavioral Health Registry (MBHR). Learn more>>
- PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities (MBHR4) is used in a PRO-PM for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) through the American Psychological Association’s Mental and Behavioral Health Registry (MBHR). Learn more>>
- PROMIS Alcohol Use – Negative Consequences (MBHR08) is used in a PRO-PM for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) through the American Psychological Association’s Mental and Behavioral Health Registry (MBHR). Learn more>>
- In 2017, RAND Corporation demonstrated validity of the PROMIS-29 profile with older adults with multiple chronic conditions. They then explored the challenges in developing a PRO-PM for this population including the relative stability of health-related quality of life and need for a longer follow-up period and large sample size.

In 2020, Lawrie and colleagues demonstrated the feasibility of using PROMIS computer adaptive tests (CATs) in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Bundled Payment for Care Improvement program. They evaluated PROMIS Physical Function, Pain Interference, and Depression CATs for patients undergoing total knee and total hip arthroplasty.
