Join the Discussion

Welcome to QualityMetric’s virtual world. Part water cooler conversation, part customer service call with a bit of talk show debate mixed in. This is a place for ideas, focused on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and their practical application in health care.

In our discussion forums you will find information about our products and services, plus customer feedback, all organized by topic. Think of it as an interactive FAQ section.

And our new blog, the Voice of the Patient, will be shared by Gus Gardner, our President and COO, Martha Bayliss, MSc and Mark Kosinski, MA both Senior Scientists here at QualityMetric. Their posts will touch upon the latest happenings in the world of PROs.

Whether you agree or disagree, we invite you to comment. You can also keep up with the blog automatically by subscribing to our RSS Feed.
