Patient-reported outcome measures(PROMs) are used to assess a patient's health status at a particular point in time. PROMs are standardized, validated survey tools that assess health outcomes reported by patients, in areas such as general health and quality of life, or around specific symptoms, functional ability and physical, mental and social health. They can be completed either during an illness or while treating a health condition. 2, record 1, English, - patient%2Dreported%20outcome%20measure

Although consumers are actively involved in purchasing decisions, they often relinquish control to surrogates. These surrogates may collect market data, evaluate competitive alternatives, and conduct transactions on behalf of the consumer. Surrogate services have distinguishing qualities, such as : 1. extent of marketplace involvement, 2. personalization, 3. impartiality, 4. taste, and 5. control. The first quality is determined by how much guidance surrogates provide. Surrogates are personalized by their tendency to operate at the level of the individual consumer. Surrogates’ impartiality is relative to their vested interest in the choice of one product over another, and their advice is sought on taste and style. Control is determined by how much decision-making power the consumer relinquishes to the surrogate. Two types of surrogates are described, and survey data are presented that review functional and intangible surrogate service benefits. 1, record 2, English, - surrogate%20consumer
