PROCAIM
Patient-Reported Outcomes from Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medicine
PROCAIM, which stands for Patient-Reported Outcomes from Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medicine, is a Web-based data collection and information system. PROCAIM collects a wide range of data using standardized questionnaires that address changes over time in symptom severity, mood, stress and coping skills, and quality of life.
How can PROCAIM be utilized?
Clinics can join the PROCAIM Network to help track their patients’ outcomes. Clinical researchers can utilize any of the questionnaires in PROCAIM’s survey library and its Internet accessibility to collect longitudinal data from patients in clinical trials or to conduct health outcomes studies. Other researchers can use PROCAIM’s database and questionnaires to address specific hypotheses, add other instruments, and develop and test new questionnaires.
