Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Public Consultation – have your say!

This is an opportunity for anyone with an interest in outcomes that matter to patients, especially the voluntary sector, to contribute to shaping how NHS England uses its resources to understand more of what’s important to patients,and the difference that certain procedures have on patient’s quality of life

Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) measure health gain and have been collected nationally in England, since 2009. Patients are asked to complete questionnaires before and after hip or knee replacement, and groin hernia or varicose vein surgery to assess the improvement in their health from their perspective.

NHS England is consulting on the current PROMs collections and the future for PROMs, regarding options around how to use resources most effectively to understand the outcomes which matter to patients, in areas with unwarranted variation in outcome and to consider indicators for future service improvement.
