Advancements in the Engagement and Preparation of Healthcare Providers for the Routine Integration of PROMs in Clinical Practice
The 1st Virtual Symposium was a huge success! If you were not able to join the live symposium, recordings are now available for purchase on the ISOQOL e-learning platform through the end of this year. The following sessions include presentations followed by live Q&As between the attendees, co-chairs, and speakers:
- Session 1: What Does it Mean to Implement PROMs in Clinical Practice?
- Session 2: Using the COM-B model and Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to Unpack Barriers and Facilitators of Healthcare Provider Adoption of PROMs
- Session 3: Building the Capabilities of HCPs to Integrate PROMs into Care Consultations
- Session 4: Identifying Environmental Opportunities, Resources, and Cues that can Aid HCPs Adoption of PROMs
- Session 5: Engaging and Motivating HCPs to Adopt PROMs in Clinical Practice
- Session 6: The Role of HCPs in Advancing Equitable PROM Use
- Please note: This session’s live Q&A was not recorded, to encourage free discussion amongst speakers and attendees.

About the Symposium
There are many challenges that healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter in the integration of PROMs into routine practice, regardless of clinical care setting. These include the (a) knowledge and skill to modify their current practice; (b) beliefs and attitudes that motivate and engaged HCPs in PROM use; (c) ability to visualize, interpret, and use the PROM score to inform patient care (e.g., clinical decision making and planning care); and (e) implementation strategies needed for various settings and professional types (e.g., physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians, and so forth). Given that HCPs are the lynchpin to successful and sustained PROMs use, the aim of this symposium is to provide a forum to learn how to leverage Implementation Science and hear about real-world examples to provide guidance to address these challenges that might be unknown, overlooked, or unforeseen.
In this interactive symposium, we explore the many factors that influence HCP behavior change by showcasing theory-informed approaches and best practice from current clinical research in diverse clinical care settings.
