PROMs were\n\t\t\t\tcollected digitally via tablet at two time points: at admission (T1) and prior to\n\t\t\t\tdischarge (T2). Both generic and disease-specific PROMs were used. Primary endpoints\n\t\t\t\twere participation rate, data completeness, and process-related barriers. In\n\t\t\t\taddition, usability of the software was assessed using the System Usability Scale\n\t\t\t\t(SUS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Of 225 screened patients, 144 (64%) were included. PROM collection at admission\n\t\t\t\twas complete (100%), whereas complete data at discharge (T2) were available for\n\t\t\t\t62.5% of patients. The main reason for incomplete data was failure to administer the\n\t\t\t\tsurvey during the discharge process (n\u00a0=\u00a044). The majority of patients were\n\t\t\t\tdigitally contactable and preferred email contact for potential follow-up\n\t\t\t\tassessments. Usability of the software was rated high (median SUS score 87.5). PROM\n\t\t\t\ttrajectories showed overall clinically plausible changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Digital PROM collection in routine inpatient care is feasible and can be\n\t\t\t\tsuccessfully integrated into clinical workflows. However, the discharge process\n\t\t\t\trepresents a critical point of data loss.
