Background: With the advent of the patient-centered care paradigm, it is important to examine what patients’ reports of
medication experience (PROME) mean to patient care. PROME available through a Web portal provide information on medication
treatment options and outcomes from the patient’s perspective. Patients who find certain PROME compelling are likely to mention
them at their physician visit, triggering a discussion between the patient and the physician. However, no studies have examined
PROME’s potential applicability to patient care.

Background
