With the aim of exploring the use of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) to help guide follow-up care for patients, this project has examined factors that influence uptake and tested strategies to support patient engagement. An ongoing pilot trial is evaluating how ePROMs can be used to support more flexible scheduling of routine outpatient dermatology visits. Early findings suggest that this approach may reduce unnecessary clinic visits and missed appointments, while maintaining high patient engagement and satisfaction.
