Key Recommendations for Designing PRO Dashboards from Design Cycles in Step

Patient Care Functionality QI Functionality
Key support Use PROs to assess patient progress, counsel patients, and understand treatment effectiveness. Use PROs to enhance patient satisfaction and establish benchmarks for care quality.
Cycle 1. Sample wireframes Provide patient-level views to monitor individual PROs.
Provide provider-level views to monitor PROs for panels of patients.
Provide clinic-level views to compare aggregate PROs over time.
Provide institution-level views to compare aggregate PROs across sites.
Cycle 2. Static mock-ups Provide predefined timelines that chart patient progress to counsel patients during visits.
Provide interactive analytics to dynamically explore individual patient data outside visits.
Provide predefined snapshots of aggregated patient data at various endpoints to monitor care quality.
Provide support for interactive analytics to dynamically explore aggregate patient data.
Cycle 3. Interactive prototypes Provide dynamic patient- and provider-level data for deep interaction.
Provide printable PRO reports to share with individual patients.
Provide dynamic clinic- and institution-level data views for deep interaction.
Provider quarterly PRO snapshots of aggregate patient data.
