Improving Usability of PROMIS® Physical Function Scores in the Clinical Setting

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) is a system of instruments that implements item response theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT) designing it to be precise, reliable, and versatile. PROMIS has been validated in the lumbar spine patient population and has been found to be more useful than other popular patient reported outcome measures. However, currently the use of PROMIS is limited in part because many clinicians lack a common language understanding of the meaning and the significance of PROMIS scores.
