WHAT IT FOUND

This is a guidance article on using PROMs with adults in speech-language therapy.

It gives implementation advice, not study results.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review and clinical guidance article about using PROMIS, Neuro-QoL, TBI-QoL, and related patient-reported outcome measures with adults who have cognitive and language disorders. It explains what these measures are, how to obtain, administer, and interpret them, and gives recommendations for speech-language therapy. It reports no original participants, methods, or results, so there is no study finding to act on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read this as evidence that PROMs improve outcomes or that any score is clinically meaningful. It is guidance on using existing measures, not a study of their effect.
