The collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in routine clinical practice provides opportunities to "feed-forward" the patient's perspective to his/her clinical team to inform planning and management. This data can also be aggregated to "feedback" population-level analytics that can inform treatment decision-making, predictive modeling, population-based care, and system-level quality improvement efforts.
