Health-related quality of life (HRQol) is a crucial dimension of healthcare outcomes. Evidence from the past two decades suggests that HRQoL is associated with specialty care outcomes, mortality, service utilization, and healthcare costs. Many HRQoL measures exist, but methodological and implementation challenges impede primary care use. Multiple barriers at the patient, provider, and practice levels hinder on-the-ground use of these screeners. Practical solutions will require the co-design and implementation of processes to identify at-risk patients and relay risk information to providers in a manner that is easily accessible, interpretable, and actionable at the point of care.
Multidisciplinary teams working to integrate various perspectives have the best chance for success. Our team includes experts in medicine, dissemination and implementation, information technology, software development, statistics, and artificial intelligence, which cover a variety of perspectives. Yet, important questions remain. Meaningful dialogue with diverse audience members can generate creative and pragmatic approaches to problem-solving.
