Many decisions are required to customize PROMIS^® in accordance with the needs of the clinic it will be used. For example, clinics must select the appropriate PROs for clinic needs, decide on an administration schedule, agree on event-triggering thresholds, determine workflow, and make many other decisions that will determine how patients and clinicians will experience PROs.
This PRO Planning Guide (Word) outlines the decisions that must be made about PRO use in each clinical setting.
The Implementation Planning Decision Log (Excel) is a companion form to capture data about PRO implementation decisions as they are made.
The Implementation Plan Template (Word) is designed to document, in a formal manner, the information collected on the Decision Log.
NOTE: The PRO Planning Guide, the companion Implementation Planning Decision Log and the Implementation Plan Template were originally developed for Epic installations and thus contain references to Epic-specific entities, such as MyChart. While the specific language may not be applicable, the concepts are similar across all EHRs.
All of these documents can be found in Northwestern’s Digital Hub.

Step-by-step implementation and configuration guides are under development. They will include information for health IT teams implementing and localizing the EASIPRO app in their local environment. Content includes:
- How to update Cerner and deploy locally secured infrastructure in a way that is compliant with securing standards and the application itself
- How to configure and customize user experience
User guides will be published for clinicians and patients explaining how PRO orders and results can be incorporated into workflow
