<p>The ePROs in Clinical Care is a toolkit funded by AHRQs Digital Healthcare Research Program, designed to help healthcare systems govern, integrate, and report electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) data for clinical care delivery. The ePROs in Clinical Care toolkit provides evidence-based guidelines and strategies for the use of PROs that are collected electronically, rather than through traditional pen-and-paper methods. The toolkit is organized around three core topic areas where changes may be needed across the health systems: Governance, Integration, and Reporting. The resource is intended to support the growing use of ePROs in clinical care. The toolkit was developed through a grant awarded to the University of Washington. </p>
