The PHO and HealthMeasures work collaboratively. In fact, many HealthMeasures scientists are members of the PHO. Together, they aim to advance the science of health outcomes by promoting the widespread use of PROMIS in research and clinical practice. They offer guidance and education to new and experienced PROMIS users.
