About this study

The overall goal of this proposal is to address barriers to the use of patient reported outcome (PRO) data in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study that compares outcome data in patients for whom PRO data either is or is not made available to the treating physician. The question addressed by this proposal is whether patient reported outcome (PRO) data change patient's outcomes. The hypothesis is that the availability of these data in the form of the patient-completed Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire/routine assessment of patient index data (MDHAQ/RAPID3) questionnaire will change patient-centric outcomes such as patient reported well-being, patient satisfaction and medication compliance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. physician/lab-derived instruments of clinical efficacy as measured by DAS28 change and DAS28 remission.

    Physician/lab-derived instruments of clinical efficacy as measured by DAS28 change and DAS28 remission.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. patient satisfaction

    Patient reported satisfaction with medical care. A validated patient satisfaction survey will be collected at study completion with the Leeds Satisfaction Questionnaire.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. medication compliance

    Degree of medication compliance. Medication compliance will be assessed by the medication possession ratio (MPR) of Methotrexate (MTX), a drug most Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients are prescribed. The VA Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) database collects information on medications dispensed and when refills are needed. Thus, a delay in refill will reflect MTX non-compliance. If it MTX is discontinued due to an adverse reaction, it is noted in the electronic medical record. The MPR is calculated as the number of days of prescribed MTX divided by the total number of days of a course.

    Measured: 1 year
