Guidance on the use of Patient Reported Outcomes for Canadian Radiation Treatment Programs, September 2020

ID: PRO.2020.09.01

This document provides guidance for radiation treatment programs on how they can enhance and optimize the collection and use of patient reported outcomes (PRO)s in routine clinical practice.

A PRO is defined as any report of a patient’s health status that comes directly from the patient without interpretation by clinicians or others. Examples of common PROs used in Canada include ESAS, EPIC, EORTC and Brief Pain Inventory.

The document is one in a suite of guideline documents created by the CPQR. When considered together, these documents address all aspects of quality and safety related to radiation treatment delivery.
