Oncoplastic Breast Surgery PROMs & PREMs using the BREAST-Q & REDCap

In this project, we assisted our client in building and administering a PROMs project that sends automated survey invitations to their patients using a PROMs instrument called the BREAST-Q.

The final product covers the whole range of generic breast cancer operations, as well as oncoplastic and aesthetic breast surgery, and consists of at least six unique surveys. Once the built-in sequence is launched, the program sends the patient an operation-specific pre-operative PROMs survey. It schedules a cascade of unique post-operative PROMs surveys to be automatically sent at the pre-set post-operative time points. No tracking is required. The scales were carefully selected and cover all aspects of aesthetics, breast cancer, and reconstruction surgery. When the BREAST-Q user rights were updated, the scales were revised to align with new oncoplastic breast surgery and cosmetic procedures, including the Goldilocks mastectomy, LiCAP, AiCAP, lipomodelling, and fat-only augmentation.

The database is automatically populated with the patient's data, and the outcome measures (also referred to as Q or Rasch scores) are instantly calculated. The pre-designed report templates, which are live-updated, can be easily accessed by clicking the provided links.
