CipherHealth
Patient-Reported Outcomes

Capture patient-reported outcomes on every episode of care.

Automate PROMs collection across the surgical and chronic care journey — pre-op baseline, 90-day, and 12-month follow-ups — with validated instruments, real-time risk escalation, and EHR-native documentation that meets CMS PRO-PM requirements.

Capabilities

A complete PROMs program — without the manual work

Validated Instrument Library

Deploy industry-standard PROMs — PROMIS-10, HOOS Jr., KOOS Jr., Oxford Hip & Knee, PHQ-9, GAD-7, EQ-5D, and more — with logic that selects the right form for each condition.

Longitudinal Cadence

Automate pre-op baseline, post-op 90-day, 1-year, and 2-year follow-ups so every surgical episode is measured the way CMS, registries, and surgeons expect.

CMS THA/TKA Reporting

Meet the Hospital IQR PRO-PM requirement for total hip and knee arthroplasty with structured pre- and post-operative collection that hits the 50% completion threshold.

Risk Escalation

Concerning scores — declining function, depression, uncontrolled pain — route in real time to the right care team member so PROMs become an early warning, not just a metric.

Surgeon & Service-Line Dashboards

Visualize recovery trajectories by procedure, surgeon, and cohort. Benchmark against MCID thresholds and share results with patients to set realistic expectations.

EHR-Native Documentation

PROMs scores write back into Epic, Oracle Health, and other major EHRs — so surgeons see them in context and quality teams export to registries without a separate database.

Reliable PROMs collection supports: CMS PRO-PM compliance, value-based bundles, joint registry submissions, surgical quality benchmarking, and patient-centered shared decision making.

Reliable execution

Capture PROMs at every required touchpoint — automatically

CipherHealth schedules PROMs the day they're due — pre-surgical baseline, 90-day, 12-month, and beyond — across SMS, IVR, web, and email. Patients pick up where they left off, even on the next channel, so completion rates climb past industry benchmarks without staff chasing forms.

Proven intelligence

Turn PROM scores into clinical action

Score thresholds, MCID-based change detection, and screen-positive flags (PHQ-9 ≥ 10, declining HOOS Jr. trajectory) trigger structured workflows: a nurse callback, a referral, a pharmacist consult, or a surgeon notification. PROMs stop living in a registry and start changing the next visit.

Proven impact

Prove value to surgeons, payers, and patients

Service-line dashboards roll PROM data up by surgeon, procedure, BMI band, and payer — the cuts that matter for joint replacement bundles, spine programs, behavioral health, and oncology survivorship. Use the same data to set realistic recovery expectations during shared decision making.

Two-way EHR integration

Write PROMs back to the EHR — no second database

Two-way integration posts PROM scores, completion status, and risk flags directly into Epic, Oracle Health, Meditech, and Cerner flowsheets. Surgeons see what they need at the next visit, registries pull from one source of truth, and IT teams aren't standing up another silo.

Use cases

Where PROMs move the needle

Configure once and run the same playbook across the service lines that drive quality, bundles, and registries.

Total Joint Replacement

HOOS Jr., KOOS Jr., Oxford Hip & Knee, and PROMIS-10 across the THA/TKA episode — built to satisfy CMS PRO-PM bundle requirements and AJRR submissions.

Spine & Orthopedics

Track function, pain, and disability trajectories (ODI, NDI, PROMIS PF) before and after surgery so surgeons and patients align on realistic recovery expectations.

Behavioral Health

PHQ-9 and GAD-7 captured on a defined cadence with screen-positive escalation — turning routine measurement into timely intervention for primary care and behavioral health alike.

Oncology & Survivorship

Longitudinal HRQoL and symptom tracking (PROMIS, FACT, PRO-CTCAE) so navigators see decline early and survivorship programs can prove their impact.

Community Health Network uses CipherHealth for patient-reported outcomes on knee and hip patients alongside longitudinal monitoring, appointment confirmations, preventive outreach, and rounding — results from the broader partnership include 3,000 fewer inpatient days, a 1.2% reduction in no-show rates worth roughly $3M in net revenue, a 94% appointment confirmation rate, and improved staff satisfaction.
