From the Guidelines

Patient Reported Information System (PRIS) is not defined in the provided evidence, however, a closely related concept, Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), is defined as "any report of the status of a patient’s health condition that comes directly from the patient, without interpretation of the patient’s response by a clinician or anyone else" 1. The concept of PROs is crucial in understanding the patient's experience and has become a standard tool in clinical trials, particularly for assessing symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) 1. Key features of PROs include:

  • Directly eliciting the patient experience
  • Assessing symptoms and HRQOL
  • Predicting meaningful clinical outcomes, including survival
  • Increasing patient satisfaction with care
  • Valued by clinicians for documentation and clinical decision making
  • Improving symptom management and overall health status The use of PROs has been shown to be feasible, efficient, and more reflective of underlying health status than clinician reporting 1. It is essential to note that while PRIS is not defined, the concept of PROs provides valuable insights into the patient's health condition, and its use has become a standard in clinical trials and practice 1.

From the Research

Definition of Patient Reported Information System (PRIS)

There are no research papers to assist in answering this question, as the provided studies do not mention the term "Patient Reported Information System (PRIS)".

Related Concepts

However, the studies do discuss the concept of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), which is a public health approach to delivering early intervention and treatment services for individuals at risk of developing substance use disorders 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

  • SBIRT is a comprehensive and integrated approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services through universal screening for persons with substance use disorders and those at risk.
  • It involves screening large numbers of individuals, providing brief treatment for those with less severe substance use disorders, and referrals to specialized substance abuse treatment programs for those with more severe substance use disorders.
  • The studies highlight the importance of using validated measures for detecting substance use and abuse, and the potential for increasing the efficiency and scalability of screening by using computerized questionnaires 4.
