QUALITY OF LIFE

PROMISING OUTCOMES QUALITY Ample evidence affirms that patients who are more involved in their medical care experience better outcomes and choose less costly, yet effective, interventions. Shriners Children’s Portland uses PROMIS, a pediatric non-disease specific health-related quality of life patient reported outcome tool developed by the National Institutes of Health in the outpatient clinic. PROMIS stands for Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. PSYCHOSOCIAL HEALTH PROMIS data was instrumental in our decision to add a pediatric clinical psychologist to our medical staff team in 2020. This addition enabled a very successful rollout of our suicide screening and assessment program using the Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) tool. Shriners Children’s Portland now consistently screens 100% of eligible outpatients using this validated questionnaire.
