  5. What stops us? • Complex logistics • Does it fit the clinical setting et al? • Molla Donaldson • ….simply urging clinicians to use PROs would not achieve large-scale adoption and that the systems in which clinicians work must be considered • ISOQOL Newsletter July 2007 • Is there no success at all?

  12. Limitation • Difficulty recruiting patients • 1850 patients invited • 1263 turned invitation down • Logistic complications • 244 did not show up at the computer (in time) • 146 only 1 administration • Subgroup results...

  13. Lessons learned • Logistics is everything! • RCT hampers clinical logistics • Replace by routine outcome monitor • But it might work… • Quality of Life • Treatment policy

  14. New investigation • Inflammatory bowel disease • Zuzana Zelinkova • Dr. Janneke van der Woude • Feedback on Quality of life • Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ]? • SF-36? • Or make disease specific questionnaire? • What is important for the patients? • Outcome • Influence on treatment policy • Patient doctor communication
