The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) is a set of person-centered measures to assess how people feel and function. PROMIS measures, which are available for adults and children, can be used in with the general population and with people living with chronic conditions.

PROMIS measures are available as available as profiles, item banks for computer adaptive testing (CAT) and static fixed length short forms (SF).
