Quality from the Patient’s Perspective: Implementation of an Established Patient-Reported Outcome Platform in a Multidisciplinary Skull Base Tumor Clinic

Background: Utilization of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical care for skull base tumor patients treated in a multidisciplinary management team has been proposed to focus on outcomes most important to patients and to enhance shared decision making. Specific options for treatment, including endoscopic and open surgery as well as chemoradiation have both acute and long-term sequelae. Identification of how these treatments impact the individual patient has implications for both quality of care and the value of the treatment provided.
