Next-Gen MS: Feed-forward PRO Data for MS Research

Next-Gen MS: A Prospective, Cluster-randomized Study Evaluating the Impact of "Feed-forward" Patient Reported Outcomes Data to Clinical Teams Managing Adults Living With MS in a Learning Health System for MS Research

This Next Generation learning health system for Multiple Sclerosis (Next-Gen MS) study is a sub-study of the MS-LINK™ Outcomes Study (NCT04735406). The study aims to examine the effects of using feed forward Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) data in real-world Multiple Sclerosis (MS) care settings. The study will be conducted within an emerging Learning Healthcare System (LHS).
