Assessments of a health-related matter of interest, importance, or worry to a patient, patient’s family, or patient’s healthcare provider that could identify a need, problem, or condition.

Data Element
Two-item PROMIS®️ global physical and mental health scales
Description

Two-item PROMIS®️ global physical and mental health scales: Global health items provide synoptic information that can be utilized as predictive indictors of health care utilization and mortality.
Submitted By: Kevin Jung / University of California San Francisco Breast Care Center
Data Element Information
Use Case Description(s)
Use Case Description Symptom burden and reduced quality of life (QOL) are considerable hurdles in oncology. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) can be utilized to establish a mean symptom burden, examine potential drivers, and characterize severe symptom burden in breast cancer patient subgroups with the goal of characterizing stage IV patient QOL and triaging patients to individualized supportive care services.
Estimate the breadth of applicability of the use case(s) for this data element Level 2 – elements pertain to most or all patients, providers or requestors.
240 stakeholders

Two-item PROMIS®️ global physical and mental health scales

I agree with UCSF's submission of this data element as treatment integration includes physical and mental health states, and once known, appropriate resources can be deployed efficiently and accurately.
