Patient-Reported Data at Dana-Farber
Your Voice Shapes Your Care
Your perspective as a patient is powerful. At Dana-Farber, you’ll often be asked to complete questionnaires to share important information directly with your care team to help them take better care of you. When you receive a questionnaire, please take a few moments to fill it out. The information you share helps guide your providers to tailor treatments, make referrals to appropriate services, and ensure comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of your well-being with a focus on what is most relevant to you.
Completing these questionnaires has been shown to improve health outcomes, reduce unexpected hospital visits, enhance communication with your care team, and increase quality of life.
It’s easy to complete questionnaires through Patient Gateway or conveniently on an iPad when you check in for your visit at Dana-Farber.
