Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) can improve patient care and be crucial for symptom tracking especially during disease outbreaks. FLU-PRO Plus is a validated PROM used to track viral respiratory symptoms. Our study aimed evaluate the feasibility of using FLU-PRO© Plus, symptoms across three healthcare systems.The prospective, longitudinal recruited adults between February-May 2021 from HealthPartners Institute (HP), Kaiser Permanente Georgia (KPGA), Mid-Atlantic States (KPMAS)....
