A feasibility study conducted at Boston Children's Hospital examined the implementation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures with adolescents on an inpatient psychiatry unit. The study found that during the 3-month pilot period, 31.8% of patients completed the PROs at admission and discharge, while during the 12-month full implementation, 74.5% of patients completed them at both time points. Statistical tests showed no significant differences in completion rates based on diagnostic, sex, or race/ethnicity factors. The research concluded that even without funding, small inpatient psychiatry services for adolescents can feasibly implement PROs with completion rates similar to other studies.
