The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory supports the design and conduct of 27 embedded pragmatic clinical trials, and many of the studies collect patient reported outcome measures as primary or secondary outcomes. Study teams have encountered challenges in the collection of these measures, including challenges related to competing health care system priorities, clinician's buy-in for adoption of patient-reported outcome measures, low adoption and reach of technology in low resource settings, and lack of consensus and standardization of patient-reported outcome measure selection and administration in the electronic health record. In this article, we share case examples and lessons learned, and suggest that, when using patient-reported outcome measures for embedded pragmatic clinical trials, investigators must make important decisions about whether to use data collected from the participating health system's electronic health record, integrate externally collected patient-reported outcome data into the electronic health record, or collect these data in separate systems for their studies.
