High symptom burden of living with kidney disease negatively impacts patients’ health-related quality of life, making it important to routinely screen for symptoms to identify their unmet needs. Research shows that clinicians are inaccurate at estimating symptoms of their patients; therefore, validated tools called patient-reported outcome measures have been developed to improve screening for and identification of troublesome symptoms patients are experiencing. Routinely incorporating patient-reported outcome measures will likely require some change to many current practices; utilizing a change management plan with appointed champion(s) and a supporting multidisciplinary team can help ensure the success of this practice transformation.
