Our study found a positive patient experience with PROMs, which is a crucial component of their successful implementation and utilization. Findings from this study suggest PROMs may be particularly beneficial in new patients, minorities, those with lower income, and worse self-reported quality of life. Collecting PROMs could provide opportunities to improve patient-provider communication and enhance control over care for rheumatology patients who could most benefit.
