Establish an ePRO governance structure
A governance structure provides formalized oversight to ePRO implementation, including decisions related to selection, technical configuration, and application of ePROs within and across the healthcare system. In addition, governance committees may promote stewardship of IT and data resources, support tracking and evaluation of ePRO use, and facilitate the dissemination of shared knowledge and lessons learned.
Components of ePRO governance
- Aligns with health system needs
- Fits within the organizational committee structure
- Sponsored by organization executives (or leadership)
- Driven by organization mission
- Charged with a defined scope of work
- Includes interdisciplinary membership
