Development of a Holistic Health Economic Evaluation Tool Leveraging Patient Self-Report

As the prevalence of long term conditions increases, there is a demand for transformation from reactive health care systems, to prevention and self-care in the community. Patient reported outcome measures are growing in popularity as a method of obtaining health status and response to intervention. However, they are primarily focused on physical health, collecting less information about important mental and social determinants of health. Today technology presents a platform for patients to track these outcomes remotely and frequently, gathering rich information about oneself which could not comparably be collected in such depth during physician consultations. This paper discusses the importance of health reporting tools for promotion of enhanced clinical and self-care. Secondly it demonstrates a case study of how the determinants of physical, mental and social health were selected in the development of a health reporting tool, and associated events and interventions.
