During the webinar, Dr. Manisha Verma and Dr. Rachel Sisodia discussed the integration of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into healthcare.

She also discussed the implementation of PROs in a hepatitisology practice and outlined key steps for integrating PROs into specialty care. Dr. Sisodia shared her experience implementing a PRO program at Partners Healthcare and discussed the use of PRO data in various areas such as clinic care, performance improvement, comparative effectiveness, and payer contracts. She emphasized the importance of physician engagement and training in the success of a PRO program and highlighted the need for a patient-centered approach to care. Overall, the webinar provided insights into the potential benefits and challenges of integrating PROs into healthcare and highlighted the importance of using patient-reported outcomes to improve patient care and outcomes.
